"Hana's Suitcase: The Quest to Solve a Holocaust Mystery" by Karen Levine tells the poignant story of a young Jewish girl, Hana Brady, who lived during the Holocaust. The narrative begins when a suitcase bearing Hana's name is discovered in a Holocaust museum in Tokyo. The suitcase becomes a portal to uncover Hana’s tragic past. As curators and researchers seek to learn more about Hana's life, they uncover the harrowing reality of her experiences during World War II, ultimately connecting her story to themes of resilience, memory, and the importance of preserving history to honor those who suffered.
