5.0 out of 5 stars When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit, 3 Aug 2002

By	"muswellprincess" - See all my reviews

Anna is nine and is far to busy with schoolwork, tobogganing and making important decisions about whether wood yo-yos, are better than tin, to do more than notice the posters of the man who has a moustache like Charlie Chaplin. It isn't until one morning she finds her papa has disappeared that she starts to listen to the grownups talk of Hitler, elections and Anna's Jewish background. And then one afternoon she comes home from school to discover her missing father is uneasy over their safety and they must go to Zurich that very week to meet him that she realises how serious the threat of Hitler is.

It is the story of a lost childhood and the dissent from fame and wealth to poverty and having a price on your head. It is the story of four lives destroyed by the Nazis. And it is a true story.

It is one of the best books written about World War Two it shows the funny sad side of a childhood destroyed by hate. And the difficulties of French and English to a nine year old girl from Berlin whose mother who can't cook. This is a Brilliant book as are the sequels The Other Way Round and A Small Person Far Away. Lovers of 'Anne Franks Diary' and all the Michael Magorian's books will revel in this book of courage, pain and growing up.

5.0 out of 5 stars I couldn't put it down!!, 10 Mar 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit (Collins Modern Classics) (Paperback)

I saw this book on display in a local bookshop and was interested by the title. I picked it up and read the first couple of chapters in the shop. I was so mezmerized by it I had to buy it and once I got it home I could not put it down. The book really displys the innocence of childhood and really shows that things that can happen in life can be just as traumatic and confusing to children as they can for adults. it is a dramatic sometimes funny,sometimes poignantly sad book that takes your right into the world, and at times the suffering, innocent people had to endure because of their faith or beleifs. This book is beautifully written and I would advise any parent to let their children read this book it will teach them a lot about tolerance. A suitable book for any age not just children - I enjoyed this book from start to finish - and I'm 31!!!! I will be buying the next two in the series and then will give them to my neice to read.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent novel that I could read over and over!, 7 Aug 2005

By	Sian Carrington (England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit (Modern Classics on Tape) (Audio Cassette)

I had seen the book 'When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit' advertised before with its eye catching front cover of a little girl looking up. The Modern Classics front cover. I had never considered reading it but when I brought it to read on holiday and I began to read it, to my amazement couldn't leave it. An excellent story set in the 2nd World War about a young German girl of nine who is more concerned about her schoolwork than the talk of Hitler but everything then changes when she and her brother are to flee from Germany to find out that their father is wanted by the Nazis. Written by Judith Kerr who was German herself and had to leave Germany in 1933 to escape the Nazi's, comes a fantastic novel loved by all who read it. In the story, the young girl Anna, her life is based on Judith's experiences. A great book that derserves to be read more than once!
