Lale er tatovør i Auschwitz og en dag skal han tatovere armen til Gita. Han er så forsiktig han kan, men den unge kvinnen blir urolig og han ser opp på henne. Etterpå kan han ikke glemme henne, og de to møtes etter hvert i hemmelighet. Det blir dem. Etter krigen slo Lale og Gita seg ned i Australia og fikk familie der. Fortellingen om hvordan de traff hverandre holdt de hemmelig - også for sine barn. Først etter Gitas død fortalte Lale den gripende historien om hvordan livet deres sammen begynte.

Cilkas skjønnhet reddet livet hennes - men ble også hennes skjebne.Cilka Klein var bare 16 år da hun i 1942 ble sendt til Auschwitz. Hun var så vakker at hun ble tatt til side, og leirkommandanten brukte henne til sine private behov. Cilka overlevde Auschwitz, men da russerne frigjorde leiren i 1945 ble hun dømt for å ha samarbeidet med den tyske fienden. På nytt ble hun stuet sammen med desperate kvinner og barn. Denne gangen var målet Sibir. Cilka var 18 år da hun havnet i den brutale Gulag-leiren i det øde Sibir. I denne ubeskrivelig mørke tilværelsen, i enda et terrorregime, finner Cilka en utrolig styrke i seg selv. Hun er sterk nok til å hjelpe andre i leiren og til selv å komme gjennom enda et helvete. Dette er fortsettelsen på historien fra «Tatovøren i Auschwitz», og fortellingen er basert på virkelige hendelser.
