The Tattooist of Auschwitz is based on the real-life love story of Lali Sokolov and Gita Furman, two Holocaust survivors who met in Auschwitz and later married. Lali kept his experiences secret for many years before sharing them with author Heather Morris, whose bestselling novel inspired the series. The production involved extensive historical research to portray the events respectfully and authentically.
A unique feature of the show is its dual timeline, with Harvey Keitel playing the older Lali as he reflects on his past. The series also features music from Academy Award-winning composer Hans Zimmer, adding emotional depth to the story. Above all, it stands out as a powerful tale of love, hope, and resilience in the face of unimaginable hardship.

Many viewers don’t realize that the real Lali Sokolov waited more than 50 years before publicly revealing that he had been Auschwitz’s tattooist. He feared being judged by others because his role, although forced upon him by the Nazis, gave him privileges that helped him survive while many others did not. This survivor’s guilt stayed with him for decades.
