About this event

Book for this month:  The Dressmakers of Auschwitz


The Dressmakers of Auschwitz by Lucy Adlington. This book is the remarkable story of women who sewed to survive. Member Christina McKenna says, “I found this book illuminating regarding life in a different time and place and precarious circumstances. Although circumstances in Auschwitz as described are difficult to contemplate, I found hope and inspiration in the courage, resilience, friendship, and loyalty of these dressmakers. The author is a clothes historian and provides an interesting perspective on the significance of clothing to the various communities”
