Die Näherin

The choice to focus on her craft as a seamstress adds a personal and intimate touch to her memoir. I wonder how her work influenced her resilience and identity during those times.

The craftsmanship descriptions felt so vivid and grounding, but I’m curious if that was a deliberate choice to symbolize hope or survival in the midst of chaos.

Memory can be selective, especially after trauma. I wonder what led her to highlight certain moments and leave others out, and how that shaped the narrative.
