Sarah’s Key – Tatiana De Rosnay

Set in occupied France, the Vel d’Hiv occurred in July 1942 – a Nazi decree to roundup the Jewish population and send them to concentration camps.  A young girl locks her brother in a hidden cupboard and promises to return for him. The story is told both from the young girl’s perspective, as well as 60 years later from the perspective of a reporter doing a story about what happened. The two stories collide in present day, with heartache, tragedy, and even a little karma.  A read for pleasure and education about a little known piece of the Holocaust puzzle. (submitted by JB)
