Because her family is Jewish and her journalist father is an opponent of the National Socialists, little Anna has to flee Germany with her parents and brother in 1933 and leave her beloved stuffed pink rabbit behind in Berlin. A loving, touching and compelling adaptation of Judith Kerr's classic autobiographical children's book.
