    This is a pretty moving mini-series about holocaust survivor Lale Sokolov recounting his experiences at Auschwitz as a tattooist putting the numbers onto prisoners, played admirably by Harvey Keitel (older version) and Jonah Hauer-King playing the younger version.

    I'll add links to IMDB and wikipedia for this.

    I'm utterly sick of seeing ads for this. Something seems off about the look of the show, as in the concentration camp garb, lighting etc. It looks more like what you'd see in a theatre production or something.

    Felt very bad for Leon after Doctor Schumann got hold of him.

    In the book the doctor was Josef Mengele

    Decent show, not earth-shattering and not as impactful as other productions on the same topic but well made and good performances.

    Does get credit for focusing on something that hasn't been covered so much in mainstream, the tattooists, and does a good job of showing how the camps basically ran on a prisoner hierarchy to a large degree.

    Absolutely did not recognise Harvey Kietel at all, and was good to see Jonas Nay.

    Definitely worth a watch.
