Hana's Suitcase: A True Story
In 2000, a suitcase arrived at a children's Holocaust education center in Tokyo, Japan from the Auschwitz museum in Germany, marked "Hana Brady, May 16, 1931 Waisenkind" (the German word for orphan) . . .
The center's curator began a year of detective work to learn the story of Hana Brady: a fun-loving child with wonderful parents, a protective big brother, and a passion for ice skating, whose happy life in a small Czech town was turned upside down by the invasion of the Nazis.
"Like the very best of museum exhibits, Hana's Suitcase shows how facts and objects can be put together to honour its subject in a very personal and loving way." -- The Toronto Star
