Four Red Sweaters : Powerful true stories of women and the Holocaust

The beautiful and moving histories of four young girls in the Holocaust, all linked by a red jumper.

This is the story of four Jewish girls - Joch, Anita, Chana and Regina - who resisted, sacrificed, or survived the Holocaust through resilience, skills, and kindness, and with the help, in each case, of a fragile red sweater. Each girl's story highlights a fascinating and moving aspect of Holocaust history, from the journey of a young refugee on the Kindertransport, to revolt and resistance at a death camp. They show how Jewish lives unravelled under the Nazi regime, contrasted with quiet heroism from so-called ordinary people.

Four Red Sweaters is a universal story of love, separation and connections.
