This project will give students a deeper knowledge about the holocaust and how it affects the cultures. Hana’s Suitcase seems, at first glance, to be a book written for children. On the cover is a beautiful sepia-toned portrait of a little girl with a faraway look in her eyes and a slight smile. She is wearing a pressed dress with a ruffled white collar and a broach; her shiny hair is twisted and pinned up, and reflects the light. This lovely little girl in the photographic portrait ordered, no doubt, by her doting parents, could be any beloved little girl, anywhere. We will read and analyze the text and compare it too what is going on in our current world. In addition, students will complete a final project designing a suitcase with instruction and rubric to follow. Also, throughout the reading students will be engaging in project based learning activities. This slim book with its simple sentences that children can understand has a story that is universal in its appeal; in telling the story, it brings one small face – a little girl with a faraway look in her eyes and a slight smile – into sharp focus. It turns one more victim of the Holocaust into a flesh-and-blood human being that adults and children can relate to. Therefore, having the material, this will motivate, the students to want to learn more about history and how others were affected by it.
