Caroline2 Wow! I have The Tattooist on my tbr shelf, but I‘m not reading it now!! I hate historically inaccurate books. 😒 5y
thewallflower0707 @Caroline2 me too, especially with this topic! I hate that this book is so popular and that the author is essentially making a dime by exploiting these people‘s story. 5y
Caroline2 @thewallflower0707 yeah it makes me really angry too. I wish I‘d read this article before I bought the book and put more money in her pocket!!! 🙄 I hope people boycott her next book! 5y

thewallflower0707 @Caroline2 The official twitter account of the Auschwitz Memorial Museum in Poland is tweeting often about these books too and fact-checking it. There a lot of mistakes that could have been solved with more research. They also recommend better books. 5y
Caroline2 That is appalling! I‘m glad people are speaking out against it though. The last thing that Holocaust Memorial organisations need right now is more historical inaccuracies and lies! 😠5y
julesG @Caroline2 For a book that's supposed to have had a team of researchers to fact check, it's full of inaccuracies and blatant mistakes. One of the main reasons I didn't read it. 5y
