It seems that after Schindler's List, the recent The Zone of Interest, and hundreds of other films and TV series, it is becoming more and more difficult to talk about the Second World War and the Holocaust. The viewers have looked into this abyss of human suffering from the perspective of the victims and the perpetrators; as direct participants and witnesses of other people's grief.

Specific images of the Holocaust have endlessly punctuated the film and TV landscape: The barbed wire of a concentration camp. Naked bodies rendered to skin and bone, tossed in discarded piles. Gleeful abuse and random killings by evil Nazis. Hollywood has repeatedly ingrained that imagery when presenting this horrific time in history, so to continue conjuring it adds to the collective trauma of an entire people.
Yet all these displays and more are the Sky Studios and Peacock co-production “The Tattooist of Auschwitz.” That makes it a challenging show to sit through, let alone binge six episodes of, when the event series drops on Peacock on May 2.
The series finds inspiration in Heather Morris’ controversial, bestselling 2018 book of the same name. 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.

Barbra Streisand is looking to make the final scene in The Tattooist of Auschwitz memorable and poignant as the credits roll after recording a new song, “Love Will Survive,” for the Peacock and Sky original drama.
Marking her first ever recording for a TV series, Streisand has performed the end title anthem for the series about two young Jewish prisoners in the Nazi concentration camp who fall in love and commit themselves to survive the Holocaust together.
Hans Zimmer and Kara Talve composed the original song for the limited series that stars Harvey Keitel, Melanie Lynskey, Jonah Hauer-King, Anna Próchniak and Jonas Nay, and which Streisand recorded to in part recall the memory of the Holocaust and the specter of antisemitism resurfacing again.

New Zealand author Heather Morris' 2018 novel "The Tattooist of Auschwitz" is getting the adaptation treatment. Sky and Peacock are teaming up to bring the project to the small screen. The best-selling novel tells the true story of Lale Sokolov, a Jewish prisoner of war tasked with tattooing identification numbers onto the arms of prisoners at the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp during World War II. It's a devastating story that focuses on the romance between Sokolov and his fellow prisoner Gita. It's based on a true story that inspired Morris for her novel (originally written as a screenplay), leading her to meet with Sokolov over years before writing it.
