The popular Jewish singer and actress Barbra Streisand revealed on streaming service Peacock on Wednesday that she is releasing a new song that was influenced by the rise in antisemitism around the world.
The song “Love Will Survive” is set to appear in the closing credits of the upcoming Peacock and Sky Original series “The Tattooist of Auschwitz,” which is scheduled for release on April 25.
Grammy and Golden Globe winner Charlie Midnight wrote the lyrics for the first song Streisand recorded specifically for television. The song was composed by two-time Oscar winner Hans Zimmer, Emmy nominee Kara Talve, and Grammy winner Walter Afanasieff.
Based on the 2018 book by Heather Morris, “The Tattooist of Auschwitz” is inspired by the real-life experiences of Holocaust survivor Lali Sokolov. The narrative of the television show centers on a Slovakian Jew who was sent to the Auschwitz concentration camp and later worked as a tattoo artist, writing inmates’ identifying numbers on their arms. He meets another prisoner there, and despite their horrifying surroundings, the two fall in love.
