Articoli correlati a Hana's Suitcase: The Quest to Solve a Holocaust...
This award-winning true Holocaust story, newly updated, connects generations through one woman’s quest to find the truth behind a mysterious suitcase.
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 “Hana Brady, May 16, 1931, Orphan.”
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.
The dual narrative intertwines Fumiko’s international journey to find the truth about Hana Brady’s fate with Hana’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 Hana’s identity.

In 2000, after receiving an empty child's suitcase from a museum in Auschwitz labeled "Hana Brady, May 16, 1931, Orphan," Fumiko Ishioka, curator of a Holocaust museum in Tokyo, decided to track down Hana and discover what happened to her. Alternating between describing Hana's life in Czechoslovakia as the Nazis came to power and following Ishioka's process of learning about the girl's story, Levine creates tension and drama as readers slowly uncover Hana's fate. Bonus material includes notes from Levine, Ishioka, and Hana's brother, George Brady; photographs from Hana's childhood and from Ishioka's and Levine's travels and visits; and memories from those who knew Hana and her family.-Mahnaz Dar, School Library JournalAbout the AuthorKaren Levine is the recipient of two Peabody Awards for her radio work.

All rights reserved.Tokyo, Japan, Winter 2000Really, its a very ordinary-looking suitcase. A little tattered around the edges, but in good condition.Its brown. Its big. You could fit quite a lot in it--clothes for a long trip, maybe. Books, games, treasures, toys. But there is nothing inside it now.Every day children come to a little museum in Tokyo, Japan, to see this suitcase. It sits in a glass cabinet. And through the glass you can see that there is writing on the suitcase. In white paint, across the front, there is a girls name: Hana Brady. A date of birth: May 16, 1931. And one other word: Waisenkind. Thats the German word for orphan.The Japanese children know that the suitcase came from Auschwitz, a concentration camp where millions of people suffered and died during the Second World War between 1939 and 1945. But who was Hana Brady? Where did she come from? Where was she traveling to? What did she pack? How did she become an orphan? What kind of girl was she and what happened to her?The children are full of questions. So is the director of the museum, a slender young woman with long black hair named Fumiko Ishioka.Fumiko and the children gently take the suitcase out of the glass case and open it. They search theside pockets. Maybe Hana left something that would be a clue. Nothing. Theylook under the polka-dot lining. There are no hints there either.Fumiko promises the children.
