I read Sarah's Key in French this summer when in France on an NEH Seminar on Visions of the Dark Years: World War II and its Legacy in France. I did a project on the Vel d'Hiv roundup which occurred in July, 1942, when approximately 13,000 French citizens of Jewish descent were rounded up into the stadium, Velodrome d'Hiver (now torn down), and then deported to French "camps" in Drancy with a final destination of Auschwitz. Sarah's Key tells the story of one family's experience during this horrible time. It is suitable for young people up to adults. I reviewed the book on Amazon.com and the author, Tatiana de Rosnay started emailing me, thanking me for my excellent review. This book is a real page turner....you just can't put it down until the last page.
