Heather Morris\u2019s international best-seller The Tattooist of Auschwitz<\/a> has been adapted for the small screen, with Jonah Hauer-King and Harvey Keitel portraying Lale Sokolov, one of the tattooists at Auschwitz concentration camp who fell in love with a fellow prisoner, Gita \u2013 and survived against all odds.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI always believed in my heart this was a story that needed to be told, and a book or a film can only go so far \u2013 a miniseries has more time to explore the story in depth,\u201d said Gary Sokolov, Lale and Gita\u2019s son.<\/p>\n

\u201cMum and dad\u2019s story has everything: romance, love, survival and hope, all set against a backdrop of some of the worst of conditions that have existed.\u201d<\/p>\n
