Chelsea 2022-12-02 08:52:16

Using the life of a woman Sarah as the main line, depicting the cruelty of the Nazis during World War II to the modern experience, spanning two different time and space, Julia's father met at the beginning of Sarah's collapse, while Julia and Sarah's son Meet again when all is gone and forgotten. All the characters and even the audience seem to be able to meet, meet and cherish Sarah.


After Sarah was taken away by the police in that room, her life began to change dramatically. She experienced the darkness of the concentration camp, experienced the brutality of Germany, experienced separation from her parents, and witnessed the death of her younger brother... Although she escaped from the concentration camp , but she has been hiding her identity as a "Jew" all her life, and her identity is a disaster for her.


She's been getting rid of it all her life.


She got rid of her adoptive parents and the area full of memories, but she knew it was futile, so in the end she could only get rid of herself by committing suicide.
At the end of the story, Julia named her baby Sarah. She is also from this house, but a vision of a better life. The sunset falls on the child again, the despair of that era is no longer, and the identity of "Jew" no longer means fear and death.


History does give everyone a different life.

Elle s'appelait Sarah quotes

  • Julia Jarmond: And so I write this for you, My Sarah. With the hope that one day, when you're old enough, this story that lives with me, will live with you as well. When a story is told, it is not forgotten. It becomes something else, a memory of who we were; the hope of what we can become.
