Hana's+Suitcase

Karen Levine ** Hana’s Suitcase is the story of two Jewish children who lived in Czechoslovakia, and what happened to them when their country was occupied by the Nazi’s in 1939. It is also the story of some Japanese children in the present, and how their teacher, helped them to solve a mystery – the mystery of Hana Brady, whose name was painted on an old battered suitcase from Auschwitz. The suitcase was empty: there were no clues as to who Hana Brady was or what might have happened to her, but the Japanese students kept asking “Who was Hana? What did she do? Where did she live?” Fumiko knew she had to find out, both for her students and for herself.
