1930s: The third book following Anna in Berlin and London
A Small Person Far Away
What you need to know before your trail
Partly autobiographical, this is the third 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…
Berlin is where Anna lived before Hitler, when she was still a German child; before she spoke a word of English, before her family had all become refugees. Long before her happy new existence in London. But Mama is there, dangerously ill. Anna is forced to go back, to deal with questions of life and death, to face old fears, and to discover the past which she has so long shut away.

London and Berlin – The Judith Kerr Story
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.
