An Adaptation of a True Story
When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit is an adaptation of the semi-autobiographical novel by renowned British writer and jurist Judith Kerr. The film tells the story of a young Jewish girl and her family’s escape from the Nazis. The family fled through Switzerland and Paris in 1933, before settling in England in 1936. This remarkable film about expulsion, antisemitism and xenophobia is told through the eyes of a child, acted by Riva Krymalowski.
