The adapted novel is based on real experiences
Author Judith Kerr has adapted her own experiences in her novel of the same name. She wrote down her childhood memories for her son. Due to the perspective of the young protagonist and the focus on the family, the book has become a standard work in schools to introduce the subject of the Third Reich and expulsion in an age-appropriate way.
The online portal for film education of the Federal Agency for Civic Education, together with Vision Kino, also recommends the film for various subjects such as German, history or religion and ethics.
