8:00
The Tattooist’s Son: Journey to Auschwitz follows Gary Sokolov, the son of Gita and Lali Sokolov—one of Auschwitz’s real-life tattooists—on a deeply personal journey. As we approach the 80th anniversary of Auschwitz's liberation, Gary retraces his parents' footsteps, starting at the infamous Arbeit Macht Frei gate. In this emotional documentary, he explores the horrors his parents faced at the Nazi death camp, meeting key figures like The Tattooist of Auschwitz author Heather Morris, actors Jonah Hauer-King and Anna Próchniak, who portrayed his parents, and Holocaust trauma psychiatrist George Halasz. Gary also connects with 100-year-old Auschwitz survivor Abram Goldberg to understand the lasting impact of intergenerational trauma.
