Peacock has released the trailer for the series based on Heather Morris’s international bestselling novel, The Tattooist of Auschwitz. It’s set to debut on May 2. It stars Jonah Hauer-King as the real-life Holocaust survivor Lali Sokolov.
The official synopsis for The Tattooist of Auschwitz reads as follows: “ Lali arrived at Auschwitz-Birkenau in 1942, and shortly after arrival, he was made one of the tätowierer (tattooists), charged to ink identification numbers onto fellow prisoners’ arms. One day, he meets Gita, when tattooing her prisoner number on her arm. They experience love at first sight, and so begins a courageous, unforgettable, and human story. Under constant guard from a volatile Nazi SS officer Baretzki, Lali and Gita became determined to keep each other alive.”
It added, “Around 60 years later, Lali meets novice writer Heather Morris. Recently widowed, Lali finds the courage to tell the world his story. In recounting his story to Heather, Lali, in his 80s, faces the traumatic ghosts of his youth and relives his memories of falling in love in the most horrific of places.”
