BBC's 'The Tattooist of Auschwitz' Premieres on M6 to Mark 80th Anniversary of Auschwitz Liberation

Adapted from Heather Morris' bestselling novel, the six-part series explores a love story born in the horrors of Auschwitz-Birkenau.

The series is based on Heather Morris' 2017 novel, which has sold over 14 million copies worldwide, including 400,000 in France.
It tells the true story of Lale and Gita Sokolov, two Auschwitz prisoners whose love gave them strength to survive the Holocaust.
The adaptation features Harvey Keitel and Melanie Lynskey, with Morris serving as a consultant to ensure fidelity to the original narrative.
The six-episode series incorporates flashbacks to Auschwitz and contemporary scenes where Lale recounts his memories to Morris.
A documentary titled 'The True Story of the Tattooist of Auschwitz' will follow the series premiere, providing historical context.
