The Seamstress of Auschwitz

A WWII Historical Fiction Novel

By: C. K. McAdam

Narrated by: Maria Nicola Johnson

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.

A family is seamstresses

Well narrated. It was hard to put it down. Highly recommended for WW2 seekers of the lives of the Jews

Interesting story

Interesting audio book, but I had a hard time getting through it due to family history during that period. I make it through because of the narration by Maria Nicola Johnson.

Not happy about inaccuracy

Loved the story but it was hard to listen the mispronunciation of many words was difficult. It’s not Bobby it’s Bubbe…. Etc.
also Jewish tradition is you do not name a baby after a living person. The heroine of the book states she was named her mother who is very much alive. The story in itself describes the horrors one faced in those times.

Family ties

This was an amazing story. Very hard to put down once you start. A lot of history in how people lived during the war. So sad for the Jews. Loved every minute and I would highly recommend it.

Captivating

Only confusion is the epilogue … she sees Paul ?? Was that a mistake ? Or was it actually Claude ? Confused !!!
