Hana's Suitcase - Such a Moving Story

Hana's Suitcase

 

Hana's Suitcase was an AMAZING retelling of a museum curator's journey to find the owner of a suitcase they received for display in their Holocaust museum. All the suitcase said was "Hana Brady - Orphan." This amazing Japanese woman, persevered to find not only more about Hana and where she had come from, but she managed to reconnect with Hana's brother who was a survivor. Hana's dream was to be a teacher, now she is teaching thousands of Japanese children about tolerance. I haven't seen the DVD, but would love to sometime. The book would make a great read-aloud in a Holocaust unit. It also would be good if you were teaching about genealogy because it shows the depth of research needed sometimes to get answers to your past. This was a moving tribute to one of the six million who died.
