Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay
4.0

The Vel D'Hiv was not something I ever learned in school. It was heartbreaking to read about. I loved Sarah's story and looked forward to the chapters with her in them. My grandmother is French and Jewish and now I want to find out more about her in this time. I know her family left Paris either before or early in the war.
I liked the Julia story, but felt that it dragged down the Sarah story some.
Still, a good book to read. It makes you think and makes you gasp in horror at the things people can and did do to one another.
