@wendyennaomi, they used a real victim of the round ups to base the story I think (not sure). But, the point is that this French participation in the Holocaust was seldom made into films, which I think is more important even.
This new horror film called "STRANGE ROOMS" is very scary. Watch at strangerooms website if you are brave enough. it’s about scary and strange haunting at one creepy apartment in Hollywood, CA. Get freaked out!
we read your book and cried and remembered. we survived as hidden children in france. betrayed by our own countrymen.my extended family father, brother and aunts and uncles perished in Auschwitz. thank you for writing the book and telling about the french police;s complicity in the atrocities.. we are anxious to see the movie.
That movie was so good! best movie I seen in ages! I didnt even know the French did the same thing to the jewish ppl that the germans did ..and here the Germans the most vicious of mankind for YEARS after Hitler
I just finished "Sarah's Key" and found it the best page-turner I have ever read. Any chance of a sequel, Ms. deRosnay? Oh, it would be wonderful to learn how Julia and William as a couple went through life raising Sarah. I will never be the same after reading this book. I wanted to reach back into the years and save those poor people who suffered in a way none of us today can even imagine! Thank you for a wonderful read! A sequel by this great writer would be perfect!
This video interview about the Nazi roundup of Jews brings to mind a quotation which, if memory serves, comes from Chaim Nachman Bialik:" Nikmat Dahm Yeled Katan mayoad lo barah hasatan."
I cried like so many times when I read your book. It's the most beautiful book I've ever read. It's a story which took part of me. I'm from Germany and especially Germans feel guilty for what our ancestors have done. Before reading your book I did'nt know anything abour the action of french policemen during the war or -especially- the Vel'd'hiv. Thank you for writing this book.
Hello, I'm 14 years old. And I've read Sarah's Key. It's a very impressing and beautiful book. I live in the Netherlands, and it's read by everyone here. (:
Beautifully written story. I bought the book at Schiphol and the register lady told me that this book was the most beautiful book she had ever read, but that it was a very sad story. I have to agree.
Thank you, Ms Rosnay, for writing this book. I lost 20 family members in what is now Belarus during the war and I had no idea about the extent of the French Police participation in the cruel separation of parents and children and ultimate deportation to the death camps. You have exposed yet another horror springing from this war which needs to be exposed and dealt with fully. History will repeat itself if it is not confronted emotionallly and intellectually.
I am just finishing the book. It is beautifully written and, if for that alone, I am glad to have picked it up. I knew nothing of these events, and am ashamed of that fact. If we are silent about our horrific past, we are too likely to repeat it.
I'm currently reading this novel. Very good novel, but heartbreaking!! I definitely have been shedding a few tears throughout this book. I just can't believe that horrible things like Vel d'hiv and the Holocaust took place. My heart goes out to the all the people affected by this tragedy.
I am so glad I bought Sarah's Key. I am in love with this book and I am definitely going to look for more books by Tatiana de Rosnay! Sarah's Key, in my opinion, is so beautifully written which leads me to believe all of Tatiana's books will hold the same eloquence. Sarah's Key is definitely a page-turner that makes me not want to put it down!
Hi Tatiana, Please make the movie, i just finished reading your book Sarah`s Key . I am a film maker from the third world, Chile and I would love to make the movie I was imagining while I read, directing every scene in the book, the music, costumes, actors, scenery, etc-
Impressed, amazing movie could be don`t you think? maybe Polanski or a French Director i don`t know. Have you had any offers yet? ha, ha. thanx Tatiana bye bye,
I read this book several years ago. Loved the book. I went to see the movie today. It was sooooo good!!!!
