THE TATTOOIST OF AUSCHWITZ TV Series Review & Ending Explained

I review, breakdown and explain The Tattooist Of Auschwitz TV Series on Peacock and Sky. I discuss the 2024 story which was focussed on Lale and Gita between 1942 and 1945. I react to the ending and provide a comparison to the book which was released by Heather Morris in 2018.

I cried most of the time and I am pleased to see Romani people were included in the movie. I hope it will help these days to reeducate the public what has happened in Auschwitz

It’s an outstanding series. So emotive, heartbreaking yet beautiful.

I’m watching it now. It’s heartbreaking It’s horrific and G-d forbid we shall never know what these people suffered… We shall Never Forget!

[@alondralabute2310]

I read this and the 2 books that followed in the series also by Heather Morris. The second book is "Cilka" which told the story of a woman Lale and Gita had known in Auschwitz and what happened to her after leaving Auschwitz. She had been forced to be a prostitute for the Nazis but the Soviets punished her for this by sending her to Siberia and what happened to her there. The third book was called "3 Sisters" and told about 3 sisters from Czechoslovakia who were sent to Auschwitz and how they cared for each other there to ensure that each survived. I hope they make films of these 2 stories as well as "The Tattooist of Auschwitz." I hope I can see this movie soon.

[@audspod1]

Thank you. I didn't realise there were 2 other books. I will certainly read them. Lest we forget!

[@vieira26]

I read all the 3 books, for me the most difficult was about Cilka (all of them are very hard, but for me Cilka was the worst).

[@alondralabute2310]

@@vieira26 I agree. How awful that after being forced to be a prostitute for the Nazis the Soviet Union punished her by sending her to Siberia where she and the other women were raped by the male prisoners. Why should the men get a benefit and the women more punishment! I was incensed to read that. These books are true stories too.

[@angiemc8593]

Jonah Hauer-King played the young Lale.who is Jewish, done a fantastic job. I’m so sick of hearing this negativity based on one opinion. The melbourne holocaust museum invited heather to discuss her book when it was released alone with holocaust survivors, they clearly didn’t have an issue with the book. I wouldn’t call this a romance, this lale story he meet Gita in the camps so obviously she is going to be the main focus of his story. What right does anyone have to question lale story, it’s his own personal story, maybe he didn’t remember factual information 100% correct.. if someone reads or listen to one persons perspective on the holocaust and actually believes they have full knowledge and understanding of what happened that’s on them of being stupid. Anyway there is something seriously wrong if this is the first information they have learned about the holocaust.

Good show.

[@celestryrose6687]

My only few complaints are as follows. Why don't use the name of Kanada of the warehouse where Gita works . And it's odd she doesn't get food from there? There was always food hidden in the suitcases. Also, I feel they cut Cilka's role soo much. Nadya also if I recall older. And whoever read the book knows Lali knew ten languages, and I doubt anyone was speaking English. I wish there was a more authentic feel with subtitles. I actually thought there would be a multilanguage option.

[@user-nr7nk4tz4v]

Some of the information that was missing was because it was not available . It was shame though? May those who did not make it out of there. May they rest in peace.😢😢😢😢

​@@BrainPilotCan i please ask does it show anything cruel as i find things like that difficult to watch.

[@Step.Emanuele]

​​​​@@lynnedavies5884 there's some violent scenes but those aren't completely shown as some other topic-related films. The show is centered on Lali's memories and psyche, and it's focused on showing how some characters still haunt him untill old age. Overall it's not too gruesome or violent, obviously it's pretty dark and there are some pretty tough scenes, but it's not that cruel or too heavy to watch. I highly recommend it to you! I hope that what i wrote is understandable, my english isn't that great.

[@ivorjohn3016]

the book is a very good read and i was concerned that the series would do it justice. it did. to say about the young Lali having an english accent , well for me it did not distract from the performance what so ever. you stated on several occasions that they escaped from the camp, but they did not. they were both being marched to other camps when they made the run for it. not a big error, but if you are reviewing then its important thing to get facts correct. as for Lali's guard? he only did some nice things for them so that Lali would do things for him like the bottle of Schnapps. all in all the book and the series are very good.

[@intrvrtdpyrldblog6568]

the author chose to come up with a fiction based on truw events... Heathet Morris was not really intending to write a historical account.. that wull require accurate accounts and evidence... Heather reasearched based on Lale stories... from his memories... she cannot basically make ahistorically accurate novel when here lrimary source is an old man wanting to tell his exoerience to reminisce his love for Gita...

[@coreoYEAH]

It's been a minute since I read it but I think Heather specifies that the book is not a historically accurate representation of Auschwitz, but a retelling of Lali’s recollection.

[@ErinFindsHerWay]

At least she knows how to spell and form a sentence.

[@intrvrtdpyrldblog6568]

love the book ilove Heatjer Morris... if i want accurate history i will jot read Heatjer Morris niv.. i will go to museums and check encyclopedia.. peopel should stop expecting the film as depiction of real life history... Read forat the history of the concwpt of film and the novel... And if you want facts read encyclopedias and primary sources... not movies ... this is evev promoted as dicymentary si we should nit expect... but the takeaway from this should be the value... human storytelling and how it revelas human resilience and ssearch for truth when we watch a fictional depiction of what happens in Auzswich

[@ErinFindsHerWay]

If you want people to take you seriously, learn to spell, use correct punctuation, and how to form a coherent sentence. Your words look like gibberish. Nobody reads encyclopedias anymore, because those online are known to be inaccurate and the few print ones are out of date by 30-40 years. Also, my daughter works at a Jewish museum and is a history and Jewish studies major. Maybe let those with credentials speak.

[@happybunny8704]

@@ErinFindsHerWayLet me explain what is being claimed here… The tattooist of Auswich is NOT true it’s a novel based on an old man’s memory as told to a novelist. The original post is correct if you read true accounts of what happened there from history you will find that Auswich was an extermination camp. Google if this is a true story and you will find that Heather Morris was nearly prosecuted by survivors and by the Auswich memorial foundation for claiming it was true when it clearly is not.. it’s fiction based on his memory and each episode has a disclaimer before it’s showing..

I am Polish and I do not recommend either the series or the book. Distorting history and preying on the tragedy of the victims of German camps. My great-grandparents survived WW2 and told me what the occupiers did. Torture, torture and torture. The author of the book was sued for her lies.

I really wanted to like the book but it was riddled with inaccuracies. I'm talking about basic knowledge of the most infamous death camp. It was so upsetting that an author who apparently had conducted years of research, couldn't even put together basic facts. I have to agree wholeheartedly with the museum. The writing was also elementary and just so difficult to read. My one hope is that the series fixed those errors and had better writers.

[@rebeccaearley4744]

I think the fact she was writing from what Lale was telling her means they can not really be inaccuracies. It was more an old man as he was at the time miss remembering things or his brain putting things in different places. Heather spoke to Lale and did research on what he told her. Yes there are things that may not be 100%right but it's still his story

[@coreoYEAH]

She told Lali’s story as he told her. She’s always been honest about that.

[@vickykulig5080]

This story is from Lale’s perspective, you can’t say someone’s own personal story is accurate. lale may not have saw a lot of the stuff that was going on in the camp, it’s raw and horrifying, but we as a community need to keep stories like Lale’s alive!
