Sarah's Key-Pages 1-29

The beginning of Sarah's Key really made me sad and frustrated. The book is diveded between 2 completly different worlds. One of them is a girl who is taken away from her home by French police with her mother and father. She locks her brother in a secret hidding place where no one will be able to find him. She promises to come back for him. She soon realizes that she won't be coming back and theres a good chance she'll never see him again so she can't fufill her promise. I cant even imagine what my feelings would be at that point in time. To one morning wake up to people banging on your door and then saying you had to leave your home. Then you have the promise you made to someone you love and when you realize probably wont be able to fullfil that promise. Words can't even describe how terrible that would be. On the other side you have a jornalist who lives in France in the modern day who has to cover the roundup that happened in France in 1942. I was frustrated in this part because she barely knew anything of that happened. It also said that the French didn't talk about it that much because they were embarressed. That honestly makes me really mad, I feel like you should talk about in memory of what the families went threw.
