When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit

Loved the movie, loved the book. I recommended it for my granddaughter but that is up to my daughter of course. The genocide is indirectly chronicled so it is up to parents to fill in what they will of the brutality. The innocence of a child is presented emphasizing a positive soul and a sharing of the joys of a life remembered in spite of hardships. Always treasure the good memories of life as she does here.

This book can easily be for adults. It is a fascinating book which I truly enjoyed. I highly recommend it.

Nice book through the eyes of a little girl in a cruel changing world. It's a good book for someone younger than I but I enjoy these books also. I am saving this book for my grandchildren as they grow older. It is a sort of history lesson, as well.

I am considerably older than a middle schooler and, despite a lifetime of reading books for both the young and the mature, had never encountered “When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit” before. It’s a sweet, moving, surprisingly realistic and understated little memoir, and well written to boot.What a relief to read a Holocaust-era autobiography that’s not sunk under the weight of atrocities or buried under special effects. The reader feels Anna’s frustrations, her sorrows, and above all her hopes. The book is also quirky and even funny, as when a mob of lunkish Swiss schoolboys tries to express their love for assertive Anna by throwing rocks at her.I came to this book after reading Judith Kerr’s obituary and realizing I’d missed out on the work of a truly formidable children’s book author. Kerr’s determination, talent, and humane view of life shine in “Pink Rabbit.” But I don’t know if I have the fortitude to read about where life takes her estimable cat hero, Mog. All along, Anna/Judith never shrank from life the way it is.

This book is the perfect primer for teaching children the truth about Hitler's evil ideology. As a homeschool mom, I was looking for a way to tackle the subject with my tenderhearted kids, and this was perfect. As we read, they asked questions about Hitler, the Nazi party, and refugees. I answered all of them and included the topics of antisemitism and the holocaust as we went along. We're starting the second book in the series next. I'm so grateful to have found this book.

Interesting

I teach gifted fourth grade readers and writers. We study bias with an emphasis on the Holocaust as a topic. I included this book as a choice for my students to read. When one of the students read it, she finished it in less than a week and brought it back hugging it to her heart, her eyes glowing..."Can I check it out again??" My other students took one look at her expression and reached eagerly for it. "I guess not yet!" I replied. What more do you need for a recommendation of a history book?

This was a good book that told the story of Jewish refugees from Germany. It is a very well written book, and the author made the main characters quite likeable. I really liked the story, and would recommend it to anyone who would like to learn more about how life was for refugees in World War ll. Happy Reading Everyone!!!

I love tales of World War II, & I had never heard of this until I found it on Amazon. Arrived in excellent condition, & I am really eager to read it.

The media could not be loaded.  Quality of the pages are good. Packaging was nice. The story itself is quite engaging. It is suitable for children above 8+ years and adults. Added the first page in the video review.

Il mio articolo è arrivato in super anticipo e in perfette condizioni!

Este libro es perfecto para niños de 9-10 años para abordar la segunda guerra mundial, la Shoah e incluso la temática de los refugiados, hoy en día. Judith Kerr explica con suma delicadeza el destino de una familia judía que huye de Alemania. Puede ser una herramienta también para acercarse al extranjero y al refugiado que tiene que dejar su casa

Lovely autobiographical book gently explains to children what it means to be a refugee, calmly and gradually in a way that makes sense and that they can relate to. As the Nazi party is poised to take power, the 9 year old heroine Anna and her older brother Max leave their privileged life in a beautiful Berlin home, for relative security in Switzerland, then Paris, and London.For the kids the challenges are learning new customs and languages, and making new friends; but they are aware that their parents have money concerns for the first time in their comfortable lives. Anna learns what it means to be reviled by Nazis although she remains sheltered from the knowledge of war atrocities and genocide.Particularly for a family living abroad, for schoolchildren with classmates from other cultures, and Americans uncertain of what Trump rule may mean for their futures, this book is a wonderful opportunity to appreciate what freedom means, the luxury of having a home and an intact family, and what it's like to flee and persevere.
