The Seamstress: A Memoir of Survival

By Sara Tuvel Bernstein

Sara Bernstein is independent, strong-willing, nurturing, wItty. And she tells a beautiful and horrific story of her life growing up pre-WWII and then as she watched her world unravel as the Germans strong armed themselves across Europe. It is an important story - the voices of women have been too small coming out of the nightmare of the ghettos and concentration camps. For her and her three female relatives, they entered the camps together and would not let each other go. They looked out for each other, shared food, used each of their own strengths to help the group stay alive. This was truly a unique accomplishment in such a chaotic and brutal environment. A beautiful and important story.
