The Seamstresses of Auschwitz: The True Story of the Women Who Sewed to Survive
14.99 €
During the Holocaust, twenty-five young inmates of the Auschwitz concentration camp were selected to design and sew fashionable clothing. They were mostly Jewish girls. They hoped that this work would save them from the gas chambers. The girls worked in an "elite" workshop at the camp base called the Upper Atelier, founded by Hedwiga Hoess, the wife of the camp commandant, who was patronized by the wives of SS guards and officers. They produced high quality clothing for the ladies of high society in Nazi Berlin and for the SS themselves. In The Tailors of Auschwitz, historian Lucy Adlington recounts the exploits of these brave women and sheds light on a little-known chapter of World War II and the Holocaust. The girls' family and friendship bonds not only helped them survive persecution, but also played a role in camp resistance. The author draws on many sources, including interviews with the last surviving seamstress.
