The Tattooist of Auschwitz

Premiering on Sky Atlantic on May 2, 2024, “The Tattooist of Auschwitz” is a six-part historical drama series based on the international bestselling novel by Heather Morris. The story, inspired by real-life events, unfolds in the notorious Auschwitz concentration camp during World War II.

The series follows Lali Sokolov (Jonah Hauer-King), a Slovakian Jew who is deported to Auschwitz in 1942. There, he is given the grim task of becoming one of the Tätowierer, charged with inking identification numbers onto fellow prisoners’ arms. Among those prisoners is Gita (Anna Próchniak), and their encounter sparks a courageous love story amid unimaginable horrors.

Under the constant watch of a volatile Nazi SS officer, Stefan Baretzki (Jonas Nay), Lali and Gita navigate their harrowing circumstances, determined to keep each other alive. Fast forward 60 years, and an older Lali (Harvey Keitel) recounts his traumatic past to aspiring writer Heather Morris (Melanie Lynskey), confronting the ghosts of his youth and reliving his memories of love and resilience.

The series is directed by Tali Shalom-Ezer and executive produced by Claire Mundell through her company Synchronicity Films. It is a collaboration between Sky Studios and All3Media International, with Jacquelin Perske as the lead writer. The show’s creative team went to great lengths to ensure historical and cultural authenticity, consulting with the Auschwitz Memorial and Museum and engaging a Historical and Jewish Cultural Consultant.

“The Tattooist of Auschwitz” boasts an impressive cast, including Academy Award nominee Harvey Keitel and Critics Choice Award winner Melanie Lynskey, who portray the older Lali and Heather Morris, respectively. Jonah Hauer-King and Anna Próchniak take on the roles of the younger Lali and Gita, delivering powerful performances.

The series also features a poignant original score composed by the renowned Hans Zimmer and Kara Talve, including a brand-new song titled “Love Will Survive,” performed by Barbra Streisand.

The Tattooist of Auschwitz Premieres Thursday 2 May 2024 on Sky Atlantic.
