Die jüdische Familie der kleinen Anna flüchtet kurz vor den Wahlen 1933 aus Berlin und muss neben Schwierigkeiten mit Sprache und Kultur auch damit zurechtkommen, dass der Vater als Journalist plötzlich kein Geld mehr verdienen kann. 

Das hat mir gut gefallen. Auch wenn es an ein jüngeres Publikum gerichtet war als vorher von mir angenommen, ist es doch immer wieder schön, solche Geschichten aus der Kindsperspektive zu erleben. Es ist wenig politisch, sondern beschreibt vor allem familiären Zusammenhalt und die Schwierigkeiten, sich plötzlich in einem Land wiederzufinden, in dem man kein Wort versteht. Gerade diese ersten Momente in den neuen Ländern, die Beschreibungen der ersten Schultage oder die naiv-neugierige Beschreibung der Sitten und Bräuche sind das Herzstück dieser kurzen Lektüre.

Im Nachhinein gefällt mir da auch die kürzlich gesehene Verfilmung noch einmal besser, allein deswegen, weil man sich doch recht nah an die Vorlage hält und die Abweichungen verschmerzbar sind. 

Die zwei Fortsetzungen sind definitiv auch auf meinem Radar.

"First they came for the Communists, and I did not speak out, because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out, because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out, because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out, because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak out for me."

In some ways I wish I had read this book as a child but, like "I Am David", "The Book Thief" and "Un sac de billes", this is a so-called "children's book" that is worth (re-)reading as an adult. I will be tracking down the other two parts of the trilogy ASAP.

So well written, honestly one of my all time favourite books

I had to read this book for a school project. It makes it easier to talk about the hard things Anna and her family went through, because we see everything from a kid's point of view. I have also moved in different countries and I have went through the same "going to school when you don't know the language" kind of thing, of course it had been harder for her, because of the financial problems and the fact that you don't have a home to return to. Great book!

Nine-year-old Anna was too busy with schoolwork and friends in 1933 to take much notice of Adolf Hitler's rise to power in her native Germany. But when her father is suddenly, unaccountably missing, and her family flees Berlin in secrecy, Anna is forced to learn the skills needed to be a refugee and finds she's much more resilient than she thought.192 pp. Copyright © Libri GmbH.

Partly autobiographical, these are first and second books in the internationally acclaimed trilogy by Judith Kerr, telling the unforgettable story of a Jewish family fleeing from Germany at the start of the Second World War. Michael Morpurgo called When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit: "The most life-enhancing book you could ever wish to read." This special bind-up, celebrating the fortieth anniversary of When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit ,is based on Judith's own experiences. The last-minute escape, village life in Switzerland, the family's refugee existence in Paris and their final arrival in England were all part of her childhood. Follow the deeply moving yet often humorous story of Anna and her much-loved family through their flight from Nazi Germany to their new life in war-torn London.
