She has to leave behind her friends, all her things (including her beloved pink rabbit) and the life that she knew and loved. ReviewsĪlmost overnight, Anna and her family decide to flee their home. This commemorative hardback celebrates 50 years of this extraordinary story. It has gone on to become a beloved classic that is required reading for many children all over the world and is an unforgettable introduction to the real-life impact of the Second World War. Judith Kerr wrote When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit 50 years ago, based on her own journey, so that her own children would know where she came from and the lengths to which her parents went to keep her and her brother safe. This is the start of a huge adventure, sometimes frightening, very often funny and always exciting. But one day she and her brother Max are rushed out of Germany in alarming secrecy, away from everything they know. Anna is too busy with her schoolwork and tobogganing to listen to the talk of Hitler. Suppose that without your noticing, it became dangerous for some people to live in it any longer, and you found, to your surprise, that your own father was one of those people. This beautiful new hardback celebrates fifty years of an unforgettable adventure that Michael Morpurgo called "The most life-enhancing book you could ever wish to read."
It's a good movie, though some small details could have been made with more thought.This semi-autobiographical classic, written by the beloved Judith Kerr, tells the story of a Jewish family escaping Germany in the days before the Second World War. The humor is good, though you might need to speak some German to fully understand it. Meanwhile the characters which are not friends of the family are always portrayed with strange looks. In one scene in which the girl's mother complain about having a bad hair while her hair was clearly made to look pretty (she looks/is 20 years younger than her husband). They cared too much into making the "good" characters look pretty and the "evil" characters look bad. As an example, the girl cares throughout the whole movie about the lost rabbit, though she's never seen playing with such toys: they had to explain over and over the movie's title. They expect that the viewer might not catch everything that is going on, so they try to explain it with dialogue, which feels artificial sometimes. The script is well written, but they could have worked better on small details, such as dialogue/foreshadowing. The scenery is nicely made, nice shots in the alps, nice rooms. The movie shows, from the perspective of a child, the story of a jewish family fleeing in Europe looking for opportunity after escaping from Hitler.
