The Seamstress by Sara Tuval Bernstein

"From its opening pages, in which she recounts her own premature birth, triggered by terrifying rumors of an incipient pogrom, Bernstein' s tale is clearly not a typical memoir of the Holocaust. She was born into a large family in rural Romania...and grew up feisty and willing to fight back physically against anti-Semitism from other schoolchildren. She defied her father' s orders to turn down a scholarship that took her to Bucharest, and got herself expelled from that school when she responded to a priest/teacher's vicious diatribe against the Jews by hurling a bottle of ink at him...After a series of incidents that ranged from dramatic escapes to a year in a forced labor detachment, Sara ended up in Ravensbruck, a women' s concentration camp, and managed to survive...she tells this story with style and power." --Kirkus Reviews

Sara Tuval Bernstein was born in Romania and went to Bucharest High School before being expelled for speaking out against anti-Semitism. The Red Cross freed her from the detention camp Bergau, and she offered to teach sewing to other displaced women. Her memoir The Seamstress: A Tale of Survival is well-known.
