Because of her Gentile appearance she worked for non-Jews and learned to be a dressmaker. She worked a year in forced labor camp, was in Ravensbruck and more. We may never understand the Holocaust but we can learn from it. An extraordinary, unsentimental story by an extraordinary woman. This is powerful truth, akin to horror at some points and heartwarming at others, with a strong female hero. Seren is a hero by any account. She's a tough woman who shouldn't have survived but did using intelligence and determination. Although Seren's young life involved the Holocaust, the book is about her family and her own wisdom and grit in every situation. It's part of Seren's journey to a life she must have cherished every day. Although she surely had post traumatic stress disorder, she was a loving and loved person who gave her best to her family and friends. Out the other side of trauma, Seren made choices. Perhaps there are lessons here for all of us. The Seamstress is a compelling story with some photos scattered throughout. The story should lift any reader above their own trials. It's also a history lesson with some details I'd never read before. Here Seren recounts her early life with family, how insidiously changes happened, how much people didn't know or understand, and events that happened to her and some of her family and friends. Highly recommend. Recommend. Great narrator; well-told story. This book is about the life of a Jewish Hungarian woman in the mid 1900s, before and during WW2. It's a raw, unvarnished, tale of her years in concentration camps, mainly Ravensbruck. Although I don't doubt she told the book as she remembered it, and certainly is was the most horrible time in recent history, there are a few items that give me pause... for example, not eating or drinking for 14 days under the harsh conditions of camp life. I would like to have heard more about how some of the stories were corroborated. Again, I don't doubt it was an awful period in life, there are just some things in the story that don't add up. Still, I loved the book and highly recommend for WW2 buffs and anyone else that wants to read about the concentration camps. Also, I thought was incredibly interesting to hear about someone living as a seamstress, making ever piece of clothing - this is something we tend to forget in modern life: that someone, just a short while ago, made a living out of making dresses for others, as an every day routine life job. Great book. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

Growing up, Sara (Seren) Tuvel was the smartest, most ambitious girl in her Romanian mountain village. When she won and accepted a scholarship to a Gentiles-only Gymnasium, she was forced to make a decision that would change her path forever. At thirteen, faced with a teacher's anti-Semitism, Seren walked out of her classroom and into a new existence. She became the apprentice to a seamstress, and her skill with needle and thread enabled her again and again to patch the fraying pieces of her life. As the Nazis encircled the country and bombs rained down, Seren stitched her way to survival, scraping together enough money to provide for her family. When she, her younger sister Esther, and two friends were sent to the Ravensbruck concentration camp in Germany, the four girls became one another's shelter. Told with the same old-fashioned narrative power as the novels of Herman Wouk, The Seamstress is the true story of Seren (Sara) Tuvel Bernstein and her survival during wartime. A story of tragedy told in raw, powerful language, it is also a dramatic tale of courage, intimate friendship, romance, and startling good fortune that will have listeners cheering.
