Hana's Suitcase

Hana's Suitcase, by Karen Levine, is a children's book that tells the story of Fumiko Ishioka, the director of the Tokyo Holocaust Center and also tells the story of Hana Brady, a young girl who lost her life in Auschwitz just because she was Jewish. The suitcase is the only connection Fumiko has to Hana, but with determination and help, she discovers the truth of what happened to Hana. Karen Levine tells the story in a grave, yet compelling manner. Both Fumiko and Hana come to life for the reader. Highly recommended.
