Four Red Sweaters

Powerful true stories of women and the Holocaust

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

The beautiful and moving histories of four young girls in the Holocaust, all linked by a red jumper.

This is the story of four Jewish girls - Joch, Anita, Chana and Regina - who resisted, sacrificed, or survived the Holocaust through resilience, skills, and kindness, and with the help, in each case, of a fragile red sweater. Each girl's story highlights a fascinating and moving aspect of Holocaust history, from the journey of a young refugee on the Kindertransport, to revolt and resistance at a death camp. They show how Jewish lives unravelled under the Nazi regime, contrasted with quiet heroism from so-called ordinary people.

Four Red Sweaters is a universal story of love, separation and connections.
