Synopsis: 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 the Second World War. 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 found things moving too fast
for her to understand. One day, her father was unaccountably missing.
Then she herself and her brother Max were being rushed by their mother,
in alarming secrecy, away from everything they knew – home and
schoolmates and well-loved toys – right out of Germany…(Credits to Amazon UK)
