An Evening with Lucy Adlington: Four Red Sweaters

Join us for an evening with Lucy Adlington in conversation with Dr Breann Fallon as they delve into Lucy's latest publication Four Red Sweaters. This non-fiction account tells the stories of four Jewish girls and women during the Holocaust, ranging from the ages of nine to nineteen. These strangers were all unknowingly linked by everyday garments. Four Red Sweaters reveals 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. They did not know each other, and had never met. However each had a red sweater that would play a major part in their lives. This account documents their stories, knitting together the experiences that fragmented their families and their lives. The resilience, skills, strength, and kindness of these young women accompanied them through the darkest events in human history. Four Red Sweaters aims to be a powerful reminder of the suffering they endured and a celebration of courage, love, and tenacity. It illuminates moments long lost to history, now pieced back together by a simple garment. 

 Join us on the 3rd of July as Lucy Adlington will join us virtually from the United Kingdom.
