When Fumiko Ishioka set up an exhibit at the Tokyo Holocaust Education Resource Center, children were drawn to a small brown suitcase with the name of Hana Brady written on it. The children of Tokyo and Fumiko worked together to learn about the fate of Hana Brady. While following the mystery, readers learn about Hana, her loving and happy family, and the horrors they suffered in some of the most notorious concentration camps of World War II. Through this difficult story, Levine also introduces Holocaust survivors and others who are working to ensure that the world never forgets what happened.
