Almost 90 years on, the events of Lali Sokolov’s extraordinary life are set to be brought to the small screen for the first time.
Sky’s new miniseries, The Tattooist of Auschwitz, is set to land on May 2. Based on the book of the same name by Australian author Heather Morris (who drew on interviews with the real Sokolov), the show tells the story of how Sokolov was deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp and – against all the odds – fell in love with fellow prisoner Gita.
