About this listen

Rose, Ella, Marta and Carla. In another life we might all have been friends together. But this was Birchwood.

As 14-year-old Ella begins her first day at work she steps into a world of silks, seams, scissors, pins, hems and trimmings. She is a dressmaker, but this is no ordinary sewing workshop. Hers are no ordinary clients.

Ella has joined the seamstresses of Birkenau-Auschwitz. Every dress she makes could mean the difference between life and death. And this place is all about survival. Ella seeks refuge from this reality, and from haunting memories, in her work and in the world of fashion and fabrics.

She is faced with painful decisions about how far she is prepared to go to survive. Is her love of clothes and creativity nothing more than collaboration with her captors, or is it a means of staying alive? Will she fight for herself alone, or will she trust the importance of an ever-deepening friendship with Rose? One thing weaves through the colours of couture gowns and camp mud - a red ribbon, given to Ella as a symbol of hope.

I loved it, I'm addicted to anything relating the Holocaust but this book isn't just about the atrocities. It's about people who do the best they can under extremely dire circumstances. They care for another in ways that are so uplifting by dreaming about better days & never loosing hope. Thank you...I'll carry this book in my heart.

Wonderful story of hope

Thank you for the research Ms Adlington did to write this novel in historically correct settings!! I read the Dressmakers of Auschwitz before I read the Red Ribbon. The same facts are interwoven!

AMAZING!!
