Join us for this special online event to commemorate Holocaust Memorial Day 2021. We are thrilled to invite you to a live event with Heather Morris, bestselling author of The Tattooist of Auschwitz and Cilka's Journey.

Heather Morris grew up on a farm in rural New Zealand. On her way back across the paddocks from school, Heather would visit her great-grandfather and listen to his experiences of war - stories he told only Heather. From a young age Heather discovered that people would tell her their stories if she stopped and listened.

Then she met Holocaust survivor Lale Sokolov, the tattooist at Auschwitz-Birkenau, with whom she formed a profound friendship. The result was The Tattooist of Auschwitz - a novel that has now sold more than 6,000, 000 copies around the world. The sequel, Cilka's Journey, is another incredible story of survival against the odds.
