Narrated by George Brady.Summary: This is the sensitive and trenchant story of two young children who grew up in pre-WWII Czechoslovakia and the terrible events that they endured just because they happened to be born Jewish. Based on the internationally acclaimed book "Hana's Suitcase" which has been translated into 40 languages, the film is an effective blend of documentary and dramatic techniques. In addition to tracing the lives of George and Hana Brady in the 1930's and 40's, "Inside Hana's Suitcase" tells the present-day story of "The Small Wings", 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 that they received from Auschwitz, the notorious Nazi death camp built in Poland. The film's plot is told through contemporary young storytellers who act as the all-knowing narrators. They seamlessly connect us through the approximately 70 years of history as well as across three continents, and relate to us a story of great sadness, but also of great hope. This is a Holocaust narrative unlike any others. It is a contemporary global perspective and gives valuable lessons for a better future. Directed by award-winning filmmaker, Larry Weinstein, "Inside Hana's Suitcase" is a powerful journey, brought to life through the first-hand perspectives of Fumiko, Hana's brother George, and of Hana herself.
