Based on the Award-Winning book by Karen Levine, "Inside Hana's Suitcase", is the poignant story of two young children who grew up in pre-WWII Czechoslovakia and the terrible events that they endured because they were born Jewish. Using a blend of documentary and dramatic techniques, the film traces the lives of George and Hana Brady as uncovered by a group of Japanese children, and how their passionate and tenacious teacher, Fumiko Ishioka, helped them solve the mystery of Hana Brady, whose name was painted on an old battered suitcase from Auschwitz. The two plots transport us through 70 years and three continents to tell a story of unspeakable sadness and also of shining hope. This is a Holocaust story unlike others: it provides a contemporary global perspective and lessons to be learned for a better future.

Directed by award-winning filmmaker, Larry Weinstein, "Inside Hana's Suitcase" is full of mystery and memories brought to life by Fumiko, Hana's brother George, and of Hana herself.
