Controversy Over Gross Errors in 'The Tattooist of Auschwitz' by Heather Morris[edit]

Fundamental problems have been identified in this novel by, among others, the Auschwitz Memorial Research Center.

“Given the number of factual errors, therefore, this book cannot be recommended as a valuable title for persons who want to explore and understand the history of Auschwitz.” ^[1]

"In 'The Tattooist of Auschwitz' one reads: 'Every reasonable attempt to verify the #facts against available documentation has been made'. We believe it has not. Read the #FactCheck historical review of #TheTattooistOfAuschwitz in #Memoria magazine: https://joom.ag/uP4a/p6"^[2]
