Welcome to Litsy!

This is the true story, written for school-age children, in which Fumiko Ishioka, the director of the Tokyo Education Resource Center in #Tokyo, #Japan, reached out to museums for artifacts with which to teach #Japanese children about the #Holocaust. After much effort, she had been given a package of items, in which one item, a suitcase which had belonged to the murdered child Hana Brady, was the motivation to teach others about the Holocaust.

This journey, as many do, begins with a suitcase. Hana Brady‘s suitcase is sent to the Tokyo Holocaust Center from the Auschwitz Holocaust museum. This begins director Fumiko Ishioka‘s quest to find out what happened to Hana Brady.

This is a remarkable story, with both heartbreak and hope, about a young girl and the museum director who felt compelled to tell her story.
