Ludwig ("Lali" or "Lale") Sokolov (né Eisenberg; 28 October 1916 – 31 October 2006), was an Austro-Hungarian-born Slovak-Australian businessman and a Holocaust survivor. Because he was Jewish, he was sent to Auschwitz in 1942, where he served as one of concentration camp's Tätowierer (tattoo artist) until the camp was liberated near the end of World War II. He did not speak publicly about his wartime experiences until after the death of his wife in 2003 due to fears of being prosecuted as a Nazi collaborator. A fictionalised account of his life appears in the novel The Tattooist of Auschwitz.
