SUMMARY:The Dressmakers of Auschwitz book talk
DESCRIPTION:At the height of the Holocaust\, twenty-five young inmates of the infamous Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp – mainly Jewish women and girls – were selected to design\, cut\, and sew beautiful fashions for elite Nazi women in a dedicated salon. It was work that they hoped would spare them from the gas chambers. Drawing on diverse sources including interviews with the last surviving seamstress\, The Dressmakers of Auschwitz follows the fates of these brave women. \nIn this captivating event\, author and historian Lucy Adlington will join us virtually from the United Kingdom to uncover these stories. In conversation with the Melbourne Holocaust Museum’s Dr Breann Fallon\, Lucy will reveal the bonds of family and friendship that helped these women endure persecution.  \nGuests will have an opportunity to explore the Shrine’s exhibition Trenches to Runway: Military Influences on Modern Fashion before the talk commences. While the exhibition does not explore the themes in The Dressmakers of Auschwitz\, it draws important parallels between the impact of military clothing design and wartime conditions on popular fashion\, tracing these influences from the 1870s to the present day.
