ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
"Sarah's Key" by Tatiana de Rosnay is a poignant novel that intertwines two stories set sixty years apart. In 2002, Julia Jarmond, an American journalist living in Paris, is tasked with writing an article about the Vel' d'Hiv' roundup, a tragic event in which thousands of Jewish families were arrested and deported from Paris in 1942. As Julia delves into her research, she uncovers a personal connection to this dark chapter of history: her in-laws' apartment was once the home of a Jewish family who perished in the Holocaust. Julia's investigation leads her to the story of Sarah Starzynski, a ten-year-old girl who was the sole survivor of her family's deportation. The novel explores themes of guilt, memory, and the enduring impact of the Holocaust on both survivors and subsequent generations. As Julia uncovers the truth about Sarah's fate, she is forced to confront the secrets of her husband's family and the complexities of France's wartime past.
