1933. La llegada de Hitler al poder cambia radicalmente la vida de Anna y su familia. Ella tiene nueve años cuando todo comienza, demasiado ocupada con sus cosas para prestar atención a lo que acontece en Berlín. Pero cuando un día su padre desaparece, se ve obligada a desarraigar toda su existencia. En su huida del horror nazi, deberá abandonar su país y dejar muchas cosas queridas atrás, como su conejo rosa de peluche. Con él también se quedará su infancia.

Beautiful story about effervescent ninety-year-old children's book author and illustrator Judith Kerr - (a true delight) - recounting her childhood escape from Hitler and eventual return to Berlin.

Anna is a Jewish girl in Germany. When the Nazis come to power in the 1930s, her family has to flee the country without being able to bring any of their belongings. Even young Anna's pink toy rabbit has been confiscated along with the family's other possessions. Initially the family lives in Switzerland, but even here they come to feel the antisemitism. And when money becomes scarce, and Anna's father can't find work as a journalist and Jew, they move on to France, where they are no long submitted to racial discrimination, but struggle financially. Eventually the entire family manages to go to England.
