Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay

Very good! This is a modern story mixed in with the story of a Jewish girl in France who is taken to the Vel d'Hiv in the July 1942 roundup of the Jews in Paris France. She locks her brother in a cabinet right before she leaves. I won't ruin the story, but it was not only educational for me but a great book.

I like books about WWII and the Holocaust. I never learned about this part of the war in school. It wasn't taught. It's mind blowing to know that there were people on Hitler's side in every country. :/
