Sarah's Key: A Human History

Finally geting around to telling all of you about Sarah's Key. It is a movie that everyone must see. Harrowing, painful, redemptive, tragic...The story is about man's treatment of man and the abilty to find forgiveness, hope, and a life-lesson in a time of great pain, a horribly-gruesome atrocity, and personal tragedies. This is not just French or Jewish history, it is Human history! The movie really struck me and had a profound impact on my view of WW2 and the Holocaust.

I think the idea that really struck me was that this all occurred only 70 years ago. This is a history that also continually repeats itself. We watch and hear of what is going on in Syria, Sudan, Rwanda, Burma and everyone just says "they will work it out." But the sad part is that it will get worked out but how many generations will it take? How many children, women, men have to die before we take action? We are so caught up in not getting in trouble, stepping on the wrong toes, and not intruding that we sacrifice innocent lives. Sarah's Key also brought up the question for me of "what would I do" or "what would my neighbor do" if this happened tomorow or next month. It is an astounding movie and I think it should be seen by all!
