Why hadn't it been taught to us in school, I wondered. In "Sarah's Key" ( I read it in five hours, could not put it down) Julia Jurmond's response was the same as mine: why wasn't the roundup of Vel d' Hiv, taught in school? My thanks to author Tatiana de Rosnay for bringing the events to light; the novel is not only brilliant and memorable, it is a long overdue tribute to the Jews of Paris, 1942.

Thanks very much for this book because I think it could be useful for French people and for everyone who is really interesting on learning about the human tragedy. The Sarah's key will be reference about the children suffering from now and them. Please give me congratulations to this great and fresh writer.
