Jonah Hauer-King embraces a young woman in The Tattooist of Auschwitz
The Big Picture All productions that involve the horrors of the Holocaust and unimaginable crimes against humanity are difficult to watch. However, Peacock's streaming six-part miniseries, The Tattooist of Auschwitz, is particularly gruesome and unflinching, depicting how the ruthless Nazis treated the Jewish people under Hitler during World War II.
The Tattooist of Auschwitz Drama Based on the eponymously titled novel, this is the powerful real-life story of Lale Sokolov, a Jewish prisoner who was tasked with tattooing ID numbers on prisoners' arms in the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp during World War Two. Lale becomes the tattooist in charge of giving his fellow Jews the identification numbers on their forearm, an ugly souvenir of the atrocities they went through. The only thing good about his job is that it brings him and Gita together. Lale, who went by the name Ludwig Eisenberg in 1942, has the identification number 32407, and Auschwitz’s records have verified that detail, though some questions have emerged as to the accuracy of Gita's number.
The veritable authority on the tragedy of the Polish extermination camp, Auschwitz Memorial Research Centre, urges people to read the factually authenticated literary records, claiming “the book contains numerous errors and information inconsistent with the facts, as well as exaggerations, misinterpretations, and understatements.
