Explores the intergenerational trauma of the Holocaust, as Gary learns more about his parents’ experiences during the Holocaust uncovering their harrowing experiences and grappling with his own identity as the son of Holocaust survivors.

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. The film will chart Gary’s first visit to this most notorious German death camp. This is a trip that Lali had always wanted to make before his death in October 2006 and one that Gary dearly wishes he had made with his father while he was still alive. Only now, after seeing the success of the drama series and the book that brought his parents’ story to a global audience, does Gary feel ready to undertake this journey. As the world prepares to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, Gary has embarked on what he describes as the trip ‘of his lifetime’.
