About this listen
Germany, 1932
Sara Schönflies, a young Jewish woman from a line of gifted tailors and seamstresses, finds her world shattered by the rise of the Nazi regime.
When Sara and her sisters are transferred to the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp, their talent becomes a lifeline. Their survival hinges on sewing beautiful dresses for the wives of SS officers and Nazi dignitaries.
Amidst the horrors and suffering, Sara's determination, her sisters' unwavering courage, unyielding defiance, and the unexpected friendship with a member of the Sonderkommando become beacons of hope.
From displaced persons camps to the distant shores of Palestine, Sara's heartrending journey continues as she searches relentlessly for the man who had once saved her life.
Fans of Heather Morris (Three Sisters and The Tattooist of Auschwitz), Kristin Harmel (The Book of Lost Names and The Forest of Vanishing Stars), and Roberta Kagan (The Pact) will enjoy this gripping tale of survival, sacrifice, sisterhood, and unbreakable love inspired by actual events.
