Books with author Sara Barnett

DESCRIPTION: An enthralling and emotional account. The story focuses on one French Holocaust survivor: his family before World War II, his trying eighteen months in a concentration camp and--of particular interest--his successful life in Paris after 1945 and the positive philosophy that he shares..

Going beyond the film to incorporate a wealth of supporting materials are the following: Foreword by Ruth (Renée) Hartz ( subject of the memoir Your Name is Renée); Prologue and introduction by Barbara Barnett; Speeches by and about Marcel Jabelot, and his letters to students; Brief chronologies of World War II and the major events of M. Jabelot's life; Sixteen photographs; Study Guide with comprehension and discussion questions; Recommended bibliography; Annotations and Index.
