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. This beautiful new edition celebrates the fifty year anniversary of an adventure that Michael Morpurgo called "The most life-enhancing book you could ever wish to read." Suppose your country began to change. 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 is what happened to Anna in 1933. Anna is too busy with her schoolwork and tobogganing to listen to the talk of Hitler. But one day she and her brother Max are rushed out of Germany in alarming secrecy, away from everything they know. Their father is wanted by the Nazis. This is the start of a huge adventure, sometimes frightening, very often funny and always exciting. Judith Kerr wrote When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit fifty 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. 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. This new edition celebrates fifty years of this extraordinary story.

Reviews-
pandy123 - When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit is a book about a nine-year-old Jewish girl who has to move from Germany, to Switzerland, then to Paris, and finally to England. All because of Hitler. Anna, the girl's father is a well-known author who writes in the newspaper and writes a lot of books. Sometimes, he writes bad things about the Nazis. From this, the Nazis want to take away his passports. So her father went to Switzerland thinking that they should secretly join him there. This book was funny, heart-warming, sad, and adventurous!
