Mid-Island Y JCC in collaboration with Congregatino Simchat HaLev, Manetto Hill Jewish Center, Midway Jewish Center, Temple Beth Elohim, and Temple Chaverim presents this program based on the Award-Winning book by Karen Levine, "Inside Hana's Suitcase," which is the poignant story of two young children who grew up in pre-WWII Czechoslovakia. 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. This is a Holocaust story that 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.
Following the film, they will have a Q&A with George Brady and/or filmmaker, Larry Weinstein.
