Summaries

Storyline

In 1933 Berlin, Anna is only nine years old when her life changes from the ground up. To escape the Nazis, her father Arthur Kemper, a well-known Jewish journalist, must flee to Zurich. His family; Anna, her 12-year-old brother Max, and their mother Dorothea; follow him shortly thereafter. Anna must leave everything behind, including her beloved pink rabbit, and face a new life full of challenges and privations abroad. Germany in 1933: Nine-year-old Anna Kemper lives in Berlin with her older brother Max, her mother Dorothea, and her famous father Arthur, a theater critic, writer, and declared enemy of the Nazis. The housekeeper Heimpi lovingly cares for the children and is an integral part of the Kemper family. It is winter, Christmas is not long past, and Arthur has the flu. Anna sits at his bedside and shows him her latest drawing, looking a little worried. She has drawn another disaster. Her father thinks it's perfectly fine-you can only paint well what you want to paint. The next morning, Arthur's room is empty. He has been warned that the Nazis want to arrest him. He has left Germany in a hurry. From now on, everything happens quickly: the children are not allowed to tell anyone and have to pack their suitcases with only the bare essentials. Anna and Max are each allowed to take only one book and one toy. Anna chooses her stuffed dog Terri, which she just got for Christmas, and leaves her old pink stuffed rabbit behind with a heavy heart. The escape to Zurich on the eve of the 1933 election is more exciting than frightening. After all, Anna and Max assume that they will soon be back in Berlin. But the very next day, their parents' caution proves to be lifesaving. The National Socialists have won the election. All of the Kemper family's possessions are confiscated, and their passports are to be revoked. Uncle Julius, who secretly visits them in Switzerland, reports terrible events in Germany. The family feels comfortable and welcome in peaceful Switzerland, but Arthur's career prospects look bleak. He hopes that continuing on to Paris will improve his financial situation. The journey becomes a departure into the unknown. Anna and her family experience the consequences of fleeing, the loss of friends, home, and security. As strangers in exile, they lack money, and their increasingly cramped living conditions also prove to be a challenge. — SRF
