About the book
Following the success of the New York Times bestseller The Dressmakers of Auschwitz, historian Lucy Adlington’s new book Four Red Sweaters bears testament to the memories that the most fragile garments can hold, and to the love that never unravels even in the darkest moments of history.
Join her as she recounts powerful true stories of friendship, survival and resilience in the Holocaust, from a Kindertransport refugee to a daring armed revolt, all centring on knitting skills and an intriguing selection of humble woollens.
