In 2017, Bonnier Books UK published The Tattooist of Auschwitz by Heather Morris. This was the beginning of an incredible publishing journey. It is the story of the tattooist of Auschwitz, Lale Sokolov, and how he met the love of his life in the selection line at during the Holocaust, it is an incredible love story that has touched the lives of millions of readers across the world. The story is true testimony given to author Heather Morris, before Lale Sokolov died.
Since the book was published, it has sold over a million copies globally, author Heather is often sent emails from readers, who have stories of their own to share, inspired by what they have read.
I was fortunate enough to be commissioned to design the website that would showcase and collate these beautiful reader stories in one place. We designed a mobile responsive site that evoked a quiet elegance to the design, important given the sensitive subject matter. Fonts and colour palette mirrored the UK book covers of The Tattooist of Auschwitz and Cilka’s Journey.
Website development by WP Bees.
“The author has seen it and is super happy with how it’s looking and really excited to get started putting up stories. Everyone here has been absolutely raving about the design and saying how it’s the best website in our portfolio."
