Hana's Suitcase

Review by Nathan:

Hana Brady lived a happy life with her parents and brother Gorge in Czechoslovakia. That was until the Nazis took over. Being Jews, both of Hana's parents were soon taken away. Hana and her brother went to live with family but were soon taken too by the Nazi's. Hana did not survive the concentration camps but her brother George did. In 2000 a women named Fumiko Ishioka in Japan requested Holocaust artifacts for her small museum.  She received Hana Brady's suitcase and a few other items.  This triggered a year long search in which Fumiko found out Hana's fate and found Hana's brother George.  George provided Fumiko with information about Hana's childhood and he eventually came to Japan to see the museum.  This book covers both Hana's story and Fumiko's story in the search for more information on Hana.
