Questions about Sarah's Key
Describe the central idea of Sarah's Key.
TR : Julia Jarmond, an American journalist married to a Frenchman, is commissioned to write an article about the notorious Vel d'Hiv round up, which took place in Paris, in 1942. She stumbles upon a family secret which will link her forever to the destiny of a little Jewish girl, Sarah.
What made you want to write this book?
TR : As a French woman born in France, I discovered the taboo of the Vel d'Hiv round up and the scars it has left. When I started to research how the round-up took place exactly and the precise role played by the French police, I was devastated. I felt I had to write about it in order to share my emotions.
What was the idea that sparked your imagination?
TR : I've always been interested in the history of my city, Paris. I was writing a previous book about how a house can harbor memories, good or bad ones, and that book took me to the rue Nélaton, where the Vel d'Hiv used to stand. I went to see that street, and the sadness of it struck me deeply.
What do you want readers to take away with them after reading the book?
TR : I would like them to remember the 4000 Vel d'Hiv children for the rest of their lives.
