Description
In March 2000, a suitcase arrived at a children's Holocaust education center in Tokyo, Japan. On the outside, appeared the words: Hana Brady, May 16, 1931, and Waisenkind-the German word for orphan. In a suspenseful journey, Fumiko Ishioka, the center's curator, searches for clues across Europe and North America. The mystery of the suitcase takes her back through seventy years, to a young Hana and her family, whose happy life in a small Czech town was turned upside down by the invasion of the Nazis. This book is based on Karen Levine's Canadian radio documentary.
