Peacock released the first pictures for their upcoming TV series, The Tattooist Of Auschwitz. Based on the best-selling novel by Heather Morris, the story is inspired by the real-life story of Jewish Holocaust survivors Lali and Gita Sokolov.
In the six-part event series, Lali (Jonah Hauer-King) 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 during the Holocaust. One day, he meets Gita (Anna Próchniak) 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 (Jonas Nay), Lali and Gita became determined to keep each other alive.
The Tattooist Of Auschwitz will premiere on Peacock on May 2.
