When Hitler Stole the Pink Rabbit
The foundation of the film is a 1971 semi-biographical novel by the late Judith Kerr.
The first reaction when confronted by a movie titled “When Hitler Stole the Pink Rabbit” is to anticipate a biting satire on the Nazi regime or, alternately, that the producer had one drink too many during an all-night skull session.
Actually, the title refers to a story without a single swastika or murderous storm trooper in sight. It is told from the perspective of a bight young girl, whose family decides to leave its native Berlin the moment Hitler assumes power as Germany’s chancellor, but long before anyone could even imagine a Holocaust.
