Kirsten's Pick - July

"Sarah's Key" by Tatiana de Rosnay.

Everyone seemed to enjoy this book. We had a great discussion on a lot of World War II stories. Kathryn and Machelle told stories from their times in Europe. Kathryn described the concentration camp memorial and the feelings and emotions she felt while visiting.

This book was a sad and emotional story, but a great tribute to those families affected by the Vel' d-Hiv round up in Paris in 1942. We were all amazed at what men can do to other people and how thankful we are to live where we do.
