The Seamstress of Auschwitz: A WWII Historical Fiction Novel by C. K. McAdam, C. K. McAdam
4.0
lately I’ve been falling back into reading more historical fictions, especially surrounding the holocaust and World War II. it’s a time period in history that’s always been very interesting and devastating to me, to witness the amount of loss and destruction brought on by people. reading through sara’s story was so saddening yet full of hope.
the seamstress of auschwitz was a shorter book on Sara, following her and her family as they were brought to concentration camps. they depended heavily on their skills as seamstresses to survive their time at auschwitz, creating fashionable outfits for the wives of officers. sara finds love amidst the destruction, and when the war is over, she embarks on a journey of not only finding herself again, but finding her love in palestine. eventually, sara learns he didn’t make it to their meeting point, but his friend does who retells their journey. sara ultimately is able to get to america, where she has family awaiting her arrival and can provide safety and a new life for her.
