Hollywood legend Barbra Streisand to record special single for Stan Original series The Tattooist of Auschwitz
Hollywood legend Barbra Streisand will record a new single for the Stan Original Series, The Tattooist of Auschwitz.
The song, called Love Will Survive, will play during the end credits of the upcoming World War II streaming show.
Streisand, 81, who has had a career spanning five decades and has won multiple Emmy, Grammy and Oscar awards, said the single is in memory of the victims of the Holocaust.
“Due to the rise of anti-Semitism around the world today, I wanted to sing Love Will Survive in the context of this series, as a way to remember the six million souls lost less than 80 years ago,” said she.
The singer-actress added that the song also reminds viewers that “even in the darkest of times, the power of love can prevail and endure.”
