Four Red Sweaters

Powerful True Stories of Women and the Holocaust

Beschreibung

"... tells the stories of four Jewish girls during the Holocaust, strangers whose lives were unknowingly linked by everyday garments, revealing how the ordinary can connect us in extraordinary ways. Jock Heidenstein, Anita Lasker, Chana Zumerkorn, and Regina Feldman all faced the Holocaust in different ways. While they did not know each other-in fact had never met-each had a red sweater that would play a major part in their lives."--Provided by publisher.
