Barbra Streisand recorded a new song, Love Will Survive, to serve as the end-title theme for The Tattooist of Auschwitz, a six-part, Holocaust-themed series that is available to watch now on Neon.
It’s Barbra's first-ever song written for a television series and it also marks her first new release since her Walls album in 2018.
“Because of the rise in antisemitism around the world today, I wanted to sing ‘Love Will Survive’ in the context of this series, as a way of remembering the six-million souls who were lost less than 80 years ago,” she said in a statement.
“And also to say that even in the darkest of times, the power of love can triumph and endure.”

The song was composed by Oscar-winner Hans Zimmer in collaboration with Kara Talve and Walter Afanasieff. With lyrics by Charlie Midnight, it is Streisand’s first-ever recording for a TV series. She is accompanied on the track by the London Symphony Orchestra, conducted by William Ross.
The Tattooist of Auschwitz, based on the novel by Kiwi author Heather Morris, stars Harvey Keitel, Melanie Lynskey, Jonah Hauer-King, Anna Próchniak and Jonas Nay.
The series tells the story of a Slovakian Jewish man who becomes a tattooist at Auschwitz and falls in love with a woman while they are both interred at the concentration camp. It chronicles the couple’s quest to “keep each other alive.”
The Tattooist of Auschwitz is available to watch now on Kiwi streaming service Neon.
