«Las modistas de Auschwitz» is a historical chronicle by Lucy Adlington, published by Booket in paperback (512 pages, in Spanish).
Twenty-five women and teenagers, mostly Jewish, were selected at Auschwitz-Birkenau to make tailored clothing for the ladies of the Nazi elite; their skill with a needle was their only hope of survival. Based on the testimony of the last surviving seamstress, the work reconstructs their friendship and their role in the camp's resistance.
The original text, in English, was translated into Spanish by Juanjo Estrella González for this 2023 edition.
For readers interested in the history of the Holocaust, World War II, and real survival stories featuring women.
