Lindy CineMondays presents its annual Holocaust Remembrance Day Screening with WHEN HITLER STOLE PINK RABBIT, a marvelous new film from the Academy Award-winning director of NOWHERE IN AFRICA (2001) and based on the best-selling, semi-autobiographical novel by Judith Kerr.
In 1933, precocious and carefree nine-year-old Anna (the astounding Riva Krymalowski) senses something amiss in Berlin when her father, a well-known Jewish journalist, goes missing. When he flees to Zurich on account of his unfavorable critique of Hitler, Anna, her mother and older brother each pack a suitcase and embark on a years-long journey to join him in Switzerland, Paris, and London. Forced to leave behind her favorite pink rabbit with her beloved maid and confidant, Anna must find the courage to face a new life filled with challenge and uncertainty.
