Reviewed by MarmeladeWie schon die anderen Bände wird die Geschichte sehr bewegend und realitätsnah erzählt. Wenn man sich für die deutsche Geschichte nach dem zweiten Weltkrieg interessiert, ist dieses Buch definitiv empfehlenswert. Mir war es zum Beispiel nicht so bewusst, dass noch viele Haushaltsgegenstände mit Hakenkreuzen versehen waren. Außerdem wird die Angst vor einem Atomkrieg geschildert. Zudem wird den Lesern einen Einblick in die Aufarbeitung und Entschädigung jüdischer Überlebender gegeben. Diese Eckdaten sind alle in die Geschichte von Anna (als Judith Kerr) eingebettet. Sehr interessant für jede Altersgruppe!
