About this event
THE DRESSMAKERS OF AUSCHWITZ - In Their Own Words
At the height of the Holocaust twenty-five young Jewish inmates of Auschwitz-Birkenau were selected to create beautiful fashions for elite Nazi women in a dedicated salon established by the camp commandant’s wife.
New York Times bestselling author Lucy Adlington explores the fragments of words, memories and material culture that now commemorate these resilient women, from testimonies, interviews, letters, garments and even postcards from Auschwitz itself.
