Jonah is SO professional! He handles such difficult questions about a complex and sensitive project with so much grace and tact. I am beyond impressed with his acting and his character every time I see another press interview.

[@crystalruss8064]

Must see!! Should be on big screen in every school in America

[@jake751]

No because a lot of it is untrue.

[@taraking6472]

I am so glad they made this. The book was amazing.

[@user-ti5pi7lp7w]

But history not so much.

[@user-nr7nk4tz4v]

I read the book and watched the movie and I cried my eyes out. I was shocked appalled sick to my stomach at the atrocities that were put upon those people 😢😢😢😢

[@stephaniebarg9441]

I saw bits of the show and I completely lost it,so much so that my older brother had to hold my hands and calmed me down. I can't even fathom the horrors that these beautiful people experienced. Honestly this tragedy could have been prevented if only people didn't fall for hitlers nasty lies.

A MUST SEE for all but especially for the younger generation around the world! Am Yisrael Chai! 🇮🇱

It is a must-see for everyone to be educated on the horrors of the past , that can come back today. It is educational and inspiring

[@rectify2003]

Teisha Bader, Thankyou for a very sensitive and respectful interview with Jonah Hauer-King

[@TurnToPage_394_]

I never in my life was so touched by a story as i am by this one…phenomenal acting! I hope this reaches a lot of people so we can really see what all those people have been through and never forget them and be sure something like this will never happen again.😢❤

[@johngriffin9476]

It was very moving and the acting was brilliant I've been to Auschwitz and the film was true to life

[@mireilledesmarais2456]

I READ THE BOOK: THE TATTOIST OF AUSCHWITZ. I PERSONALLY COULD NOT PUT THE BOOK DOWN.

[@brucevilla]

Thanks for Uploading.

[@lillywildflower]

This was such a brilliant retelling of what happened. I think many of us are too scared to discuss concentration camps but as humans, I think we need to see shows Like this because it gives is an insight from a new perspective. My mother is Dutch. My grandparents and aunties were living in Netherlands when it was occupied by Germans. My grandmothers sister was a collaborator and my grandparents never spoke to her again after ww2. I know people did what they did to survive and the line of the show that resonated with me was that there are no good decisions…. They are bad or worse….. When Lali needed medicine for Gita, it suddenly made me realise the immense weight of decisions…..bad or worse, I had family die in concentration camps during ww2, then I had an aunt who was a collaborator and I have struggled to understand her….But now it seems to make more sense to me that people did things our of desperation to survive or save a loved one. Sending my love to everyone who made this story become something that we can watch to understand history. And to all those families that lost loved ones during the holocaust ❤

[@pippa212]

I’m actually reading this right now. Hope the series is as good as the book

[@tammiestout4126]

I read the book. Can’t wait to see

[@lillywildflower]

I watched it and highly recommend it for the educational aspect alone. We all know if the holocaust but there were things in this sign that is just didn’t realise happened. I feel it opened my eyes more and lose the fear of finding out things in history that are just not spoken about as openly as they should. This was like watching history happen in front of me… not like watching a movie

[@miriammuskal5402]

The book was fantastic 😍

[@mariateresabucala5107]

How could anyone say. " Welcome to Auschwitz."

[@sistagalsistagal8136]

Its a must visit.

[@DawnStarkman-kn7wx]

Brilliant actor!

[@weldonarnold5431]

It was mentioned that the authorities of today who are skeptical of this series how many of them were actually there

[@melaniedanks6253]

I don't have sky tv but i would like to see this if it came out in the cinema. I watched a trailer of the series & i have read other people's comments about it & so many people have different views about it.

[@littlecari1]

I read the book before they made the movie.i wish it would be a mini series on regular tv. The actor seems so professional

[@veronicaneacsu7483]

I read the book, it was sensitive but i will wait the series at 7 of june 2024

[@veronicaneacsu7483]

I saw the series twice very hard to watch

[@agnescassar7604]

Where is it being shown? Thank you in advance

[@badchunky1]

Streaming on Peacock. It’s very well made

What did you do to survive, not a,easy feat,who did you send too crematorium?.we are looking for the truth!!?!?

[@CdnSunshine]

Was looking forward to the story of the original couple not you talking 😢

[@sallyesakov309]

I read the book, but felt that it was not similar to other testimonies that I have read. I have questions about its authenticity.

[@dianewalker4633]

Just because there are no similarities does not mean that it did not happen. Do you genuinely question the authenticity, or are you just another antisemite who is deliberately casting doubt on what happened, and is using the power of suggestion by making others also doubt? Shame on you if that is the case.

[@bandkh90]

The book has been proven to be historically inaccurate and has been discredited by the Auschwitz Foundation so your questions are well founded. It is also very schmaltzy and poorly written. However, the mini series is surprisingly good…particularly the acting of Jonah Hauer-King. His sensitive portrayal of Lali is very moving. I guess they had to trim all the purple prose from the book, resulting in a film that is much more succinct and truthful. I hope you enjoy the series if you get to view it.

[@pippa212]

@@bandkh90I’m reading the book now, and have felt at times that Lale is being treated too well for a concentration camp. So is a lot of it fiction? He made it up?

[@happybunny8704]

This book is fiction it is based on his memory but the actual content is fiction it’s all over google as to why….

[@dianewalker4633]
