Clothes historian Lucy Adlington tells the powerful story of women who used their sewing skills to survive imprisonment in Auschwitz, the Nazis' most infamous death camp.

In the midst of the Holocaust, prisoners from Auschwitz were taken to work in a dressmaking workshop.

These seamstresses sewed beautiful creations for Nazi women, hoping it would save them from the murder their communities were facing.

Lucy Adlington is a British novelist, presenter, and clothes historian who has written multiple books about women's fashion throughout history.

Adlington's 2021 book, The Dressmakers of Auschwitz: The True Story of the Women Who Sewed to Survive, is highly-researched and includes interviews with the last of the surviving Auschwitz seamstress.

Amid anecdotes about how the clothing industry was affected by World War II, Adlington tells the story of the brave dressmaking prisoners whose bonds helped them fight for survival.
