The sentence comes before Lali’s story has even begun. Before the 80-year-old tells it to the Australian author Heather Morris in regular meetings over the years, who has made a world bestseller out of his memoirs: “It’s a love story,” he says.

Finally, he knows that he has just made a ludicrous announcement, because no place in the world – unless hell really exists – could be more unsuitable for a love story than the Auschwitz death camp.
