The day before the election, the family decided to join him in Switzerland for safety. He planned that if the Nazis won the election, the rest of the family would join him in Switzerland. Before the election, Papa decides to flee Germany as he is a journalist not favoured by the Nazis. They are a Jewish family living in 1930s Berlin, just before the election of Hitler and the Nazi party. The book focuses on a family, daughter Anna and son Max, and their parents, Papa and Mama. I wanted to return to the story that prompted me to read History at Edinburgh. Now, nearly ten years later, I re-read Kerr’s work. Before re-reading it, I had hazy memories about the exact details of the book. I vividly remember my Year Six teacher handing me the book and asking that I read it, and it retains its impression on me a decade later. Now I would say I have fallen back in love with it, thanks to the book that made me love it in the first place: When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit by Judith Kerr. Sometimes, I feel I have fallen out of love with my degree. My degree has since shown me what I love about my degree and what I don’t. I knew I wanted to read History for eight years before university.
