So he packs his suitcase and leaves for Switzerland on the train in the middle of the night. But Anna's father is a well-known Jewish writer, and someone warns him, just in time, that his passport might soon be taken away from him. Of course, in 1933 no-one ever imagined in their wildest dreams that he might actually try to murder them all. Hitler is going to stop the Jews, whatever that means. But while she is busy with school life, Hitler is about to be elected to office by the German people. That's what really happened to Anna in this book. Have you ever lain in bed at night and wondered how it would be if the very worst thing actually happened? Perhaps you can imagine losing your home through flood, earthquake or war? Whatever the problem is, you can almost believe that you might be able to cope, so long as you have all your important family with you and a suitcase with a few special possessions.
