Out of the Hitler Time is a trilogy of semi-autobiographical novels by Judith Kerr for children and young adults. When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit is the first book in the trilogy and a well-known novel for children. It is based upon the early life of the author whose Jewish father, noted drama critic, journalist and screenwriter Alfred Kerr, was wanted by the Nazis. Kerr's family fled their home in Berlin via Switzerland to escape to Paris and then England. She came to write the book when her own son was eight; after seeing The Sound of Music he remarked, "Now we know what it was like when Mummy was a little girl". Kerr wanted him to know what it was really like and so wrote When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit.
