Description: The delivery of a battered suitcase to Furniko Ishioka at the Tokyo Holocaust Museum begins the true-life mystery that became the subject of Karen Levine's best-selling book Hana's Suitcase. The suitcase came from the Auschwitz Museum and had Hanna Brady's name painted on it. Larry Weinstein's masterful film follows Furniko's search to discover the details of Hana's life, which leads to the discover of her brother George in Toronto. As small children they had been sent to Thereisenstadt for being Jewish after the Nazis invaded Czechoslovakia in 1939. (Menemsha Films)
