    "Las costureras de Auschwitz cuenta la historia de las veinticinco mujeres y adolescentes, la mayorâia judâias, que en medio del horror absoluto del campo de exterminio de Auschwitz-Birkenau fueron seleccionadas para confeccionar ropa a medida para las damas de la alta sociedad nazi. Sus habilidades se convirtieron en su âunica esperanza de salvarse de una muerte segura en las câamaras de gas. Basâandose en un impresionante trabajo de investigaciâon, incluso en entrevistas con la âultima costurera superviviente, la novelista e historiadora Lucy Adlington ofrece una detallada e inestimable reconstrucciâon del vâinculo de amistad que unâia a aquellas valientes mujeres y su papel en la resistencia del campo, al tiempo que expone la codicia, la crueldad y la hipocresâia del Tercer Reich. Este libro ofrece una nueva mirada a un capâitulo poco conocido de la Segunda Guerra Mundial y del Holocausto y saca a la luz historias de vidas excepcionales que deben ser contadas antes de que sea demasiado tarde."--Provided by publisher.

    Imagine 'stepping into someone else's shoes'. Walking back in time a century ago, which shoes would they be? A pair of silk sensations costing thousands of pounds designed by Yantonnay of Paris or wooden clogs with metal cleats that spark on the cobbles of a factory yard? Will your shoes be heavy with mud from trudging along duckboards between the tents of a frontline hospital... or stuck with tufts of turf from a football pitch? Will you be cloaked in green and purple, brandishing a 'Votes for Women' banner or will you be the height of respectability, restricted by your thigh-length corset? Great War Fashion opens the woman's wardrobe in the years before the outbreak of war to explore the real woman behind the stiff, mono-bosomed ideal of the Edwardian Society lady draped in gossamer gowns, and closes it on a new breed of women who have donned trousers and overalls to feed the nation's guns in munitions factories and who, clad in mourning, have loved and lost a whole generation of men. The journey through Great War Fashion is not just about the changing clothes and fashions of the war years, but much more than that - it is a journey into the lives of the women who lived under the shadow of war and were irrevocably changed by it. At times, laugh-out-loud funny and at others, bringing you to tears, Lucy Adlington paints a unique portrait of an inspiring generation of women, brought to life in rare and stunning images.
