Frenchfiction Stories

Paris, 1942. When ten-year-old Sarah Starzynski and her family are taken during the Vel' d'Hiv Roundup, she locks her little brother Michel in their secret cupboard, promising to return for him. These are the letters she might have written - words of hope, fear, and love carried through camps, escape, and silence. Though Sarah and Michel are fictional, the tragedy they inhabit was real. Their story honors the thousands of children whose voices were lost during the Holocaust, and the families who never stopped searching. "Lettres à Michel" is a tribute to innocence and memory - a reminder that even in history's darkest corners, love still writes.
