Powerful true stories of women and the Holocaust

About this book

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

The New York Times bestselling author of The Dressmakers of Auschwitz weaves together the stories of four Jewish girls during the Holocaust, strangers whose lives were unknowingly intertwined by everyday garments.

Jock Heidenstein, Anita Lasker, Chana Zumerkorn and Regina Feldman all faced the Holocaust in different ways. While they did not know each other – in fact had never met – each had a red sweater that would play a major part in their lives. In this absorbing and deeply moving account, award-winning clothes historian Lucy Adlington documents their stories, knitting together the experiences that fragmented their families and their lives.

Adlington immortalizes these young women whose resilience, skills, strength and kindness accompanied them through the darkest events in human history. A powerful reminder of the suffering they endured and a celebration of courage, love and tenacity, this moving and original work illuminates moments long lost to history, now pieced back together by a simple garment.
