The Big Picture Over the past year, it seems as though every streaming service has tried its hand at delving into the horrors of the Holocaust, including Peacock which is set to premiere The Tattooist of Auschwitz on May 2. The series stars Jonah Hauer-King and Anna Próchniak as lovers who meet amid the soul-crushing terror and uncertainty of Auschwitz.
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. ANNA PRÓCHNIAK: I think for me, it's one of the most memorable moments of this production. I remember when I looked at myself in the mirror for the first time, with my head shaved in a costume, with the tattoo on my arm, it was very powerful and quite emotional. It just got me closer to the character in that moment. It was a very profound moment. Very much so. There was something very physical about it. Very emotional, but physical too. It wasn't just about changing the appearance.
HAUER-KING: It was the same for me, I think. When we're trying to portray such a dark and traumatic history, it's interesting that really what has stuck with us is the light that we were able to find in the darkness, and specifically the light that they were able to find. Lale was a person of such compassion and kindness and commitment to helping others, even when he was in these impossible situations and given these impossible choices.
