About this title

Review:

Acclaim for When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit:

‘... a compassionate introduction to the whole subject of World War II...’ Books for your Children

‘... an extremely exciting adventure story...’ Daily Express

‘... a charming and touching book, often very funny...’ Daily Mail

‘... exact, intelligent and unsentimental.’ Sunday Telegraph

From the Back Cover:

'“I don't want to go back to Berlin." '

Berlin is where Anna lived before Hitler, when she was still a German child; before she spoke a word of English, before her family had all become refugees. Long before her happy existence in London. But Mama is there, dangerously ill. Anna is forced to go back, to deal with questions of life and death, to face old fears, and to discover the past which she has so long shut away.

Judith Kerr was born in Berlin and left Germany in 1933 to escape the Nazis. Her novels are based on her own experience.
