"Hana's Suitcase"-Book Study 4 Kids

In 2000, an empty suitcase arrives at a newly created Holocaust Museum in Tokyo, Japan.  The suitcase belonged to Hana Brady, a 13-year old Jewish orphan.  The curator, Fumiko Ishioka, and children visiting the museum were full of questions.  Who was Hana Brady?  Where did she come from? How did she become an orphan?  What happened to her?
