Description In Favor Of Books When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit (Out of the Hitler Time #1)
Partly autobiographical, this is first of the internationally acclaimed trilogy by Judith Kerr telling the unforgettable story of a Jewish family fleeing from Germany at the start of the Second World War
Suppose your country began to change. Suppose that without your noticing, it became dangerous for some people to live in Germany any longer. Suppose you found, to your complete surprise, that your own father was one of those people.
That is what happened to Anna in 1933. She was nine years old when it began, too busy with her schoolwork and toboganning to take much notice of political posters, but out of them glared the face of Adolf Hitler, the man who would soon change the whole of Europe – starting with her own small life.
Anna suddenly found things moving too fast for her to understand. One day, her father was unaccountably missing. Then she herself and her brother Max were being rushed by their mother, in alarming secrecy, away from everything they knew – home and schoolmates and well-loved toys – right out of Germany…

This book is brilliant, the story is heart warming and a new favourite of mine. I liked how it focuses on a child's confused/ever so slightly naive thought process of the First World War. It shows Anna's pure excitement and slight anxiety about becoming a refugee in Switzerland, then France and finally England. I am going to make sure I have a copy of this book in my classroom.For a moment she felt terribly sad about Pink Rabbit. It had embroidered black eyes - the original glass ones had fallen out years before - and an endearing habit of collapsing on its paws. Its fur, though no longer very pink, had been soft and familiar. How could she have ever chosen to pack that characterless woolly dog in its stead? It had been a terrible mistake, and now she would never be able to put it right....Somehow I managed to get through my childhood never having read When Hitler
I absolutely adored this book and gave it full stars mainly after watching the Judith Kerr documentarydocumentary . What I appreciate more now is the naivety with which many children saw the danger of war through. Anna is excited about leaving the country and become a refugee in Switzerland, France and the UK and this innocent ignorance is fascinating and more like John Boyne's The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas.
What a beautiful story! When I started reading the book I expected another sorrowful account of the worst time in history, but in the end I closed the book with a smile on my face and the thought that everybody should read this book to be encouraged to deal with change in a new way. (Me included!) Anna tells the story the odyssey her family is forced to undertake in 1933, when Hitler grasps power in Germany and her family has to leave Berlin in a hurry - being Jewish and politically active
This book is one of those that feel somehow effortless, as if they were just waiting to be written. Kerr's fictionalised story of her childhood is, and deserves to be, one of those eternal classics of children's literature. Anna (Judith) is growing up in Germany. She is Jewish, and her father is a famous writer. Following the rise of Nazism, and the climate becoming increasingly fragile in Germany, her parents make the decision to leave. This book follows Anna throughout the first part of her
This book is probably best aimed at the 9-12 age reader, and yet -- like all well-written books -- it will appeal to many older readers. It is Judith Kerr's memoir of being a German/Jewish refugee as a child, and it is both fascinating and poignant. Although the author sticks to facts and memories, as much as possible, the book is presented as fiction -- she distances herself with the third-person point-of-view, and by referring to herself as "Anna" (which actually was one of her names, as she
I have been meaning to read this since I was 12 in 1971 when it first came out and finally have gotten around to it. I'm glad I did. This is the story of a nonreligious family of cultural Jews who were smart enough to get out of Berlin right at the time of Hitler's election. The father, a famous journalist and Nazi critic, got word that if Hitler was elected the Nazis were going to take his passport so he slipped out of the country to Prague and then to Switzerland a short time before the
