Peacock’s ‘The Tattooist of Auschwitz’ Is a Gruesome and Grueling Holocaust-Set Love Story: TV Review
Heather Morris' bestseller ‘The Tattooist of Auschwitz’ — a love story set at the concentration camp — is a new limited series on Peacock.
Morris wrote the debut novel after spending time with a Slovakian Holocaust survivor named Lali Sokolov (nee Ludwig Eisenberg), who was a tattooist at Auschwitz II-Birkenau. Director and co-executive producer Tali Shalom-Ezer and the rest of the crew attempted to address the book’s criticisms as carefully as possible, hiring consultants and ensuring everyone had access to counseling. Story-wise, “The Tattooist of Auschwitz” acknowledges this is a retelling by having an aged Lali (Harvey Keitel) recount his experiences to a first-time author named Heather (Melanie Lynskey).
