World Cinema: When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit (German)

Join us for a special screening of "When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit", a poignant and historically significant film based on the semi-autobiographical novel by Judith Kerr. The story follows nine-year-old Anna as she and her family flee Nazi Germany in 1933, seeking refuge in Switzerland, France, and eventually England. This touching film captures the challenges and resilience of a young girl during a tumultuous time in history.

A special introduction will be given by Dr. Zarya Rubin, who has direct links to the Holocaust and also studied German in college at Harvard. Stay after the screening for a lively discussion about the film’s themes, including the impact of war on children and the importance of resilience and hope.

This screening is part of the Lake Oswego Public Library's World Cinema Series, a monthly event showcasing diverse international films at The Lake Theater & Cafe on the last Tuesday of every month at 5:30 PM. Admission is free, and no ticket is required (though food and drink purchases are encouraged to offset the cost to the Lake Theater).
