Partly autobiographical, this is the unforgettable story of a Jewish family fleeing from Germany at the start of the Second World War.
This is the story of one family’s flight from Nazi Germany , in the years before war broke out. It’s a huge adventure; sometimes frightening, often funny and always exciting.
Based on the true experiences of the author, Judith Kerr, who was born in Berlin and left Germany in 1933.
