Book Covers


#1
#1 This version of the novel cover is the French version so it shows the Nazi symbol on the key. I think it's trying to show that the Holocaust was the fault of the Germans and not the French who actually did alot of the killing. I think it's trying to say that the reason Sarah can't get back to save her brother is because the Nazis won't let her, but really the French are not allowing her to go home.

#2
#2 This version of the novel cover I think shows freedom. I think it shows how Sarah was free to be a little girl and live her life until the Jewish roundup occured. I think it is supposed to show how Sarah's life was free of stress and worry of survival and that is how she wants her life to get back to.

#3
#3 This version of the novel I think tries to show you the kind of person Sarah is. It shows her jumping a ditch or something, showing she has no fear. Also the text underneath her feet speaks really strongly. It's saying that Sarah has so much love for her brother that she is willing to do pretty much anything to save him even if it means risking her own life.

#4
#4 This version of the novel shows probably Sarah and her brother running down a path. I think this is supposed to show Sarah and her brother running to freedom away from the Nazis and the French Police. In the  novel Sarah and her family live in a nice French apartment and maybe that is what they are running to in this picture.
