It is becoming common for the grandchildren of Holocaust survivors to replicate their grandparent(s) tattoo numbers on their own bodies.

As the number of remaining Holocaust survivors dwindle, and the Holocaust passes out of living memory, replicating Auschwitz tattoo numbers becomes an ever more potent gesture about embodied memorialization and, crucially, familial ties and love.

As one grandchild of a survivor said about tattooing her grandmother's number, "The number is my grandma. It’s my past, my roots, my story. It’s who I am."

(For those who would like to purchase this necklace without a specific survivor in mind, we can provide a tattoo number which will accompany a brief bio of the person tattooed with that number).
