Description
The breathtakingly moving true story of the women who created a fashion workshop within one of WWII's most notorious death camps - and sewed to survive the Holocaust. 'Such a powerful book, so much pain, strong ladies, so much detail, I have read many books on Auschwitz but this one will stay with me for a long time' - READER REVIEW ¿¿¿¿¿ 'I couldn't put it down. I spent time feeling angry and I cried, while reading it, but I also laughed on occasions and felt uplifted. I don't think I've ever been more deeply moved by a book. Buy it. Read it. Gift it to friends. This is a very special book.' - READER REVIEW ¿¿¿¿¿ 'Just finished reading this incredible book and experiencing an incredible welter of emotions on reading the very personal survival stories of such incredible women - harrowing, humbling & awe-inspiring in equal measure.' - READER REVIEW ¿¿¿¿¿ At the height of the Holocaust twenty-five young inmates of the infamous Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp, mainly Jewish women and girls, were selected to design, cut, and sew beautiful fashions for elite Nazi women in a dedicated salon. It was work they hoped would spare them from the gas chambers. Drawing on diverse sources - including interviews with the last surviving seamstress - The Dressmakers of Auschwitz follows the fates, friendships and resistance of these brave women. Historian Lucy Adlington shines light on their extraordinary stories, weaving a remarkable thread of courage and hope through one of the darkest periods of human history. ----- Acclaim for The Dressmakers of Auschwitz: 'Fascinating and original' - Alexandra Shulman 'Compelling . . . Adlington tells the stories of the women with clarity and steely precision' - Jewish Chronicle 'An utterly absorbing, important and unique historical read' - Judy Batalion 'Powerful . . . a fascinating account' - Woman
