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.
