The Tattooist of Auschwitz became a best-selling book upon its 2018 release and has now been brought to screen in a harrowing Holocaust drama.
The powerful novel and six-part series is based on the incredible true story of Ludwig 'Lali/Lale' Sokolov and his wife Gita Furman, who fell in love after meeting at Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp during the Holocaust. New Zealand author Heather Morris, who told her friend Lali's story in her bestselling book, spoke exclusively to Daily Mail Australia ahead of the Stan series' May 2 release. Many of the leading cast are Jewish, while French-Canadian actor Adam Karst portrayed Frenchman Pepan and German Jonas Nay played SS guard Stefan Baretzki, adding further authenticity.
