Sarah was labelled from the time she was born. She was born and raised into a Jewish family, and had the untrue beliefs of other people label her, her family, and her religion. These labels caused a tremendous amount of trouble for her family and other Jewish families. People should not blindly believe the labels put on people. Labels do not show who people really are, they just show one small part about them.
Sarah was an outgoing, happy and intelligent girl but these were all characteristics that people did not notice about her. Instead she was labeled because of her religion. Born and raised into a Jewish family, Sarah spent her entire life living what would be any persons worst nightmare. People should not be judged because what race,religion, or any organization they belong to. Being judged on the characteristics of the ‘majority’ of people in a group you belong to is not right.
Sarah was a happy, loved, very kind and compassionate young Jewish girl. Although she was like any other German girl with blonde hair and blue eyes, as a soldier pointed out, as soon as some realized that she was of a different religious background, they shut down. People would no longer associate with her, because she was “different”. Labeled as such, it couldn’t have had that much affect on the young girls life because she would have grown up knowing nothing else. Being born and raised on the assumption that it had, and would always be, difficult and a strain for her and her family. The blind belief of others, with their stereotypical characteristics, can be dangerous and passing judgement on a group is never needed nor is it right.
Labels. Everyone has one, whether you know it or not. You have them since your born, you grow up with them, your stuck with them. A label is who you are, not necessarily who you chose to be. Other people are the ones who label you and they too have their own label. Sarah’s Key is full of labels. As a young child Sarah is labeled as a Jew, a star stuck on her chest for the whole world to see and judge. People with the star to be looked down upon and not as worthy. Sarah did not chose to be a Jew, before they were made wear to the stars, she was the same as everyone else. No one would have treated her differently or even known she was different then them. Young children her own age treated her differently because that’s what they were taught and told to do. If the parents of these children had not told them that these Jewish people were not equal to them, would people like Sarah and her family be treated the way they were? Did Sarah or the many other Jewish people chose to be Jews? Did they chose to be labeled as a Jew so they could get the “luxury” of going to concentration camps?People are the ones who make the labels, stick the labels on people, and judge people by those labels that they have chosen for them. If the label Jew had been placed on those many that had died at the concentration camps what would our world be like today.
The picture of the baby, taken right when s/he was born. Places a label on this baby, from the moment s/he was born. Although there is nothing wrong with people who are homosexual, the label will cause people to consider the baby less superior to them. The baby had nothing to do with this label and is to young to even make his/her own decisions, which is very unfair for the baby who will grow up, judged and treated unfairly. This picture is a perfect representation of Sarahs Key because Sarah is also labeled at a very young age for no good reason. Sarah grew up in a Jewish family and has struggled immensely for this. Although Sarah can not help her religion, culture or race she is still judged only for being Jewish. The star placed on Sarahs chest lets everyone know that she ‘ is unworthy’ or ‘should not be treated equally to everyone else’. The label is unfair and inaccurate however people believed that Jewish people should be signaled out and not treated equally, and unfortunatly for Sarah and every other person born and raised Jewish; they were,
Labels are something everybody is given, even if they do not realize. labels can be given right from birth, or they can grow over time. In this picture a child is being labelled as a homosexual instantly without any control of it. This label will cause this child many difficulties growing up, and may even change his life forever. People will judge him and speak differently of him compared to others. He will get harsh treatment he does not deserve. This related to Sarahs Key because she has no control over being a Jew, and suffers greatly from it. The book is full of labels that caused many jewish families along with Sarah’s to be tragically separated. Although Sarah was a happy young child who grew up without the understanding of her label it caused her life to change forever. The baby in the picture is labelled with a a wrist band, Sarah is labelled with a star on her clothes, so others would be aware of her fault. Before Sarah was made to wear the stars she was treated like everybody else. When she was made to wear the star her world changed, she suddenly began to loose all rights. If it wasn’t for those stars, those labels, would Sarah’s family have lived happily? This we ll never know, however; we do know that a label represented on a individual does not make them a target for disrespect.

The saddest point was the fact that Sarah was not even aware of her “position” in society before it began, she was just a “child” like any other.
