Sarah's Key


If you have any interest at all in World War II or the Holocaust, this book is a must-read. I read it in just a few days last week. I thought it'd be good pre-reading before I head to Europe in less than 6 weeks. This year we visit the Anne Frank stuff in Amsterdam, and of course the Beaches at Normandy/Utah Beach again along with the American Cemetery. This book tells a story about the German occupation of France that I never knew about, the Vel' d'Hiv Roundup of Paris in 1942. Check it out.
