Out of the Hitler Time

The BBC radio adaptations of Judith Kerr's internationally acclaimed trilogy - plus bonus documentary.

Based on her own childhood experiences, Judith Kerr's When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit is a timeless classic loved by children and adults alike. By turns heart-rending and heart-lifting it is even more resonant today than when it was first published in 1971. This story of a Jewish family who escape Germany just as the Nazis come to power, is seen through the eyes of their young daughter Anna and traces their perilous journey - splintered by conflict driven by fear and eventually rewarded with reunion.

The two sequels Bombs on Aunt Dainty and A Small Person Far Away follow Anna as she grows up settles in London - and many years later returns to Berlin to confront the past.

These three radio plays are the very first dramatisations of Kerr's trilogy.
