Hana's Suitcase: The Quest to Solve a Holocaust Mystery

This award-winning true Holocaust story, newly updated, connects generations through one womanâ€™s quest to find the truth behind a mysterious suitcase.
Â
In March 2000, Fumiko Ishioka, the curator of a small Holocaust education center in Tokyo, received an empty suitcase from the museum at Auschwitz. On the outside, in white paint, were the words â€œHana Brady, May 16, 1931, Orphan.â€
Â
Fumiko and the children at the center were determined to find out who Hana was and what happened to her all those years ago, leading them to a startling and emotional discovery.
Â
The dual narrative intertwines Fumikoâ€™s international journey to find the truth about Hana Bradyâ€™s fate with Hanaâ€™s own compelling story of her life in a quiet Czech town, which is shattered by the arrival of the Nazis, tearing apart the family she loves. This suspense-filled work of investigative nonfiction draws in young readers and makes them active participants in the search for Hanaâ€™s identity.
