The Tattooist of Auschwitz
The Tattooist of Auschwitz tells the true story of Lale Sokolov, a Jewish prisoner given the job of tattooing identification numbers on prisoners’ arms at the concentration camp during World War Two. Lale meets Gita as she waits in line to be tattooed and falls in love at first sight, beginning a courageous, unforgettable story of humanity in the very worst of circumstances. Filming ahead of a release date to tie into the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, Jacquelin Perske, who adapted The Cry and wrote Australian drama Seven Types of Ambiguity, is attached to script the series from Heather Morris’ book. Shooting in early 2019, casting director Kelly Valentine Hendry is attached and casting now.
