When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit

Title: When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit
Author: Judith Kerr
Genre: Historical Fiction
Reviewer: Sidd

First of all, this book has nothing to do with a pink rabbit. Actually, this story is mainly about a 10 –year old girl named Anna and her older brother named Max. They are Jewish, and they lived at the time when the Nazis first took power. Their father is a writer, and the Nazis won’t let him publish his works anymore. Even so, they still went on with their normal lives. Then, one day, Anna’s father escaped and relocated to Switzerland. Soon afterwards, their mother told them that they also had to escape to Switzerland. Will Anna’s family be able to stay one step ahead of Hitler?

This is a historical fiction piece. This book had thrills and comedy on every page. Just imagine, the effect of being Jewish in that time period, even I would be scared. I just couldn’t put this book down. I recommend this book to anyone with a passion for history or anyone yearning for a touching book. I can honestly say that this book will leave a lot of memories for me.
