Remember. Never forget. Sarah's Key by Tatiana De Rosnay is a most remarkable novel that I will not soon forget as it has imprinted a lasting yellow badge on my heart. As page after page turns, Sarah and Julia's stories are unlocked to reveal the interwining of their lives. A generational story of sadness, despair and loss introduces us to Julia, an American journalist living and working in Paris, investigating Sarah's tragic life from July 16, 1942 when the French police rounded up thousands of Jewish families and walked with them to their deaths obeying the demands and orders of the Nazis regime. In President Jacques Chirac's 1995 address he said, "France,home of the Enlightenment and the Rights of Man, land of welcome and asylum, France committed that day the irreparable. Breaking its word, it delivered those it protected to their executioners."This book will leave a lasting mark on your heart and it is not one that you will want to lay to the right or left. No, it should long remain in the center of your mind, soul and heart as you remember and never forget. May God bless Israel and may His mercy's be new every morning for all.
