German Film Screening: When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit
Subtitled in English
When the Nazis rose to power in Germany in 1933, the Jewish Kemper family knew they had to leave Berlin quickly. The father, a theater critic who had openly criticized the Nazis, was in immediate danger. Young Anna Kemper, played by Riva Krymalowski, had to make a tough choice during their hurried escape: she was allowed to take only one cuddly toy with her. She decided to leave her favorite pink rabbit with their housekeeper, Heimpi, who stayed behind. Anna's journey led her from Berlin to Switzerland, then to Paris, and finally to London. This uncertain and unsettled life was full of challenges and hardships, forcing Anna to constantly adapt to new situations. Director Caroline Link's film, based on Judith Kerr's autobiographical children's book, skillfully tells this touching family story. It appeals to both children and adults, addressing the themes of persecution, flight, and exile under Nazism in an age-appropriate way.
All are Welcome!
