1930s: Partly autobiographical, this book follows on from When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit
Partly autobiographical, this is the second title in Judith Kerr’s internationally acclaimed trilogy of books following the life of Anna through war-torn Germany, to London during the Blitz and her return to Berlin to discover the past…
It is hard enough being a teenager in London during the Blitz, finding yourself in love and wondering every night whether you will survive the bombs. But it is even harder for Anna, who is still officially classified as an “enemy alien”. Those bombs are coming from Germany – the country that was once her own. If Hitler invades, can she and her beloved refugee family possibly survive?
Judith Kerr, OBE has an amazing story of her own. Locations she has lived in include Berlin, Paris, and now London. There are no places to visit as such but these places tell us much about the wonderful lady and her life.
She was born in Germany and is of Jewish background. She and her family first came to the UK in 1933 during the rise of the Nazis. Her book for older children When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit, and the other two in the series which follow Anna through her German and London adventures is partly autobiographical.
