The Tattooist of Auschwitz

The Tattooist of Auschwitz is a #1 New York Times and International Bestseller, now adapted into a Peacock Original Series featuring Harvey Keitel and Melanie Lynskey. This powerful story of hope and bravery is drawn from interviews with Holocaust survivor and Auschwitz tattooist Ludwig (Lale) Sokolov.

 In April 1942, Slovakian Jew Lale is sent to Auschwitz-Birkenau, where his language skills earn him the role of tattooist, marking fellow prisoners. Over two and a half years, he witnesses both cruelty and courage, risking his life to trade valuables for food to help others survive. When he meets Gita, a young woman about to be tattooed, he promises to survive and marry her. This gripping and inspiring account highlights love and humanity amid unimaginable darkness.
