WomanThe powerful chronicle of the women who used their sewing
skills to survive the Holocaust, stitching beautiful clothes at an
extraordinary fashion workshop created within one of the most
notorious WWII death camps. At the height of the Holocaust
twenty-five young inmates of the infamous Auschwitz-Birkenau
concentration camp - mainly Jewish women and girls - were selected
to design, cut, and sew beautiful fashions for elite Nazi women in
a dedicated salon. It was work that they hoped would spare them
from the gas chambers.This fashion workshop - called the Upper
Tailoring Studio - was established by Hedwig Hoess, the camp
commandant's wife, and patronized by the wives of SS guards and
officers. Here, the dressmakers produced high-quality garments for
SS social functions in Auschwitz, and for ladies from Nazi Berlin's
upper crust. Drawing on diverse sources - including interviews with
the last surviving seamstress - The Dressmakers of Auschwitz
follows the fates of these brave women.Their bonds of family and
friendship not only helped them endure persecution, but also to
play their part in camp resistance. Weaving the dressmakers'
remarkable experiences within the context of Nazi policies for
plunder and exploitation, historian Lucy Adlington exposes the
greed, cruelty, and hypocrisy of the Third Reich and offers a fresh
look at a little-known chapter of World War II and the Holocaust.

V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
