Hitler wins the election, and from there Anna moves from Switzerland, where she stays for a few months, to Paris, where the main part of the book is set, until she moves to England right at the end of the book. If they don't win, then the family will stay in Berlin. If the Nazis win the election, the family will go to Switzerland. Anna's family are Jewish and Anna's father doesn't like Hitler. Their leader is Adolf Hitler, who wants to get rid of Jews. The Nazi party are candidates for the election.
