Always Remember is a six-month series of free, virtual screenings designed to raise Holocaust awareness through cinema. Each month from June through November, we’ll offer a selection of films designed to amplify unique voices and experiences relating to the Holocaust, highlighting LGBTQ+ stories, women’s perspectives, stories of resistance, youth experiences and more.

You’re invited to join us for an online screening of When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit, followed by a pre-recorded conversation with director Caroline Link.

During the month of August, Always Remember focuses on the Holocaust as seen through the eyes of its youngest victims. In the feature When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit, Anna is only nine-years-old in 1933 Berlin when her life changes from the ground up. To escape the Nazis, her father, a well-known Jewish journalist, must flee to Zurich. Anna leaves everything behind, including her beloved pink rabbit, and faces a new life full of challenges and privations abroad.

When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit participated in festivals around the world and won the following prizes:

2020 Bavarian Film Award Winner (Best Youth Film); 2020 German Film Awards Winner (Outstanding Children or Youth Film); 2020 Golden Rooster Award Winner (Audience Award: Best International Actress – Riva Krymalowski); 2020 Stony Brook Film Festival Winner (Audience Choice Award: Best Feature); 2020 UK Jewish Film Festival Winner (Audience Choice Award: Best Film)
