Overview

Filmed in Melbourne, Slovakia, and Poland, this poignant and intimate one-off documentary will follow Gary Sokolov, the only son of Gita and Lali Sokolov (one of the real-life tattooists of Auschwitz). Their incredible love story began when they met and fell in love as Slovakian Jewish prisoners at Auschwitz Concentration Camp, where the Nazi regime systematically murdered over a million Jews. The film will chart Gary’s first visit to this most notorious German death camp.
