How to Make a Holocaust Love Story

The Tattooist of Auschwitz, based on a book by Heather Morris, follows the true story of Lali and Gita Sokolov, who fell in love as prisoners at the notorious concentration camp. The action moves between the chilling world of Auschwitz and Melbourne, Australia circa 2006, when Morris meets Lali (Harvey Keitel) and learns his history. “It’s an inspiring story of love and survival in the darkest place on earth,” says Claire Mundell, who produced the Peacock limited series. Mundell, interviewed by cinematographer Nicole Hirsch Whitaker (Netflix’s One Piece), reveals how the project came together, from securing the IP rights to convincing Barbra Streisand to make her first-ever original song for TV, “Love Will Survive.”
