When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit
Publisher: HarperCollins Children's Books
Partly autobiographical, this is first of the internationally acclaimed trilogy by Judith Kerr telling the unforgettable story of a Jewish family fleeing from Germany at the start of World War II.
Suppose your country began to change. Suppose that without your noticing, it became dangerous for some people to live in Germany any longer. Suppose you found, to your complete surprise, that your own father was one of those people. That is what happened to Anna in 1933. She was nine-years-old when it began, too busy with her schoolwork and toboganning to take much notice of political posters, but out of them glared the face of Adolf Hitler, the man who would soon change the whole of Europe - starting with her own small life.
Anna suddenly finds things moving too fast for her to understand. One day, her father goes unaccountably missing. Then she herself and her brother Max are being rushed by their mother, in alarming secrecy, away from everything they know - home and schoolmates and well-loved toys - right out of Germany!

When Hitler stole pink rabbit is a book about a girl called Anna whose dad is wanted by the Nazis. Therefore the whole family is evacuated into the deepest depths of the bustling streets of Paris. I loved this book because its so interesting to find out what life was like during the nasty days of the second world war. I would strongly recommend this book !!!
