Sarah Starzynski: A very brave ten year old girl, who is arrested with her family by the French police in the Vel'd'Hiv roundup. She is very bright for her age and curious. Desperate to protect her little brother Micheal she locks him in a cupboard located in a bedroom. She made a promise to him that she would come back to rescue him as soon as they were released. She was sure that he would be safe in there. So far throughout the story Sarah has been very courageous and strong-much more so then her parents. After a few weeks Sarah- along with a friend named Rachel- escaped from the camp. Sarah is still very determined to go save her little brother, not a day goes by she does not mention him. She has not yet ever given up on trying to save her little brother Micheal from the deep dark cupboard.
Micheal Starzynski: Sarahs four year little brother. He was very scared when he peeped through the door and saw the men arresting his family. When Sarah went to go wake him up to get him ready to leave the house, Micheal refused to move. He insisted on hiding in their secret place- a long deep cupboard that was hidden in the surface of the wall in their bedroom. He was not afraid to hide in the cupboard, he felt safe in there.
Mrs. Starzynski- Sarah and Micheal's mother. The mother turned pale when she realized who was at the door. Her fingers began to tremble, her mouth became dry, she was drained and frozen. She knew exactly why the police were there arresting her and her family and she was terrified. She could no longer stand up straight and she began cowering. She was numb with horror. She is very weak and hopeless.
Mr.Starzynski-Sarah and Micheal's father. Knew before hand that there was going to be trouble approaching for men, so he began hiding in the basement every night. Little did he know that not only men were being arrested but ALL Jewish people including children. He finally came out of hiding when he realized his family was being arrested, he was loyal and protective of his family and did not want them to go through with this on their own. He seems to be a very brave man, who loved his children to death. He is very patient with Sarah and always answers everything she asks- she tends to ask a lot of questions- which would imply that he is a very smart man.
