Finding Sarah

Now that Julia has found out that the Starzynski family was the family who lived in her future home, Julia sets out to find Sarah. Knowing that Sarah is now 60 years older than she was in 1942, Julia has a hard time tracking her down. Although Julia, with the help of her lawyer sister Charla, manage to track down the name of Sarah's husband and his adress, who now lives in the United States. Julia took a trip to the states to find her.

Julia goes to this adress of where Sarah Starzynski lives only to find out she is not living there. Turns out Sarah had passed away in 1972 from a car accident and the woman she just met was R.J. Rainsferd's second wife. Julia was extremely upset when she learned she would not be able to speak to Sarah after learning all she's been through. However Julia finds out that Sarah had a son: William Rainsferd who she has just set off to Italy to find.

This all shows just how dedicated Julia is to her work and how much she wishes people would be more apologetic towards Jews and what the French have done to them. All Julia wants is to let them know that people care and that they won't be forgotten. Julia wants to find Sarah's son so she can apologize to him for what she hadn't even known.

One ironic thing is about the way Sarah died. Sarah had been struggling for so long to get away from the French police and to get away from being killed. She had hundreds, if not thousands of people (if you include the Germans) who wanted her death, yet she was killed in a car accident. It just seems like a bad way to go especially if you were able to withstand the Holocaust where millions of people were killed.
