Welcome to Quillcast, a podcast series from our partners at Quill & Quire. Quillcast features behind-the-scenes conversations with authors and publishing insiders. In this episode, Q&Q web editor Sue Carter Flinn talks with author Karen Levine and Second Story Press founder Margie Wolfe about Hana’s Suitcase (Second Story Press), the story of a Japanese teacher and her quest to discover the history behind a child’s suitcase found at the Auschwitz death camp. This year marks the 10th anniversary of Hana's Suitcase.
Hana’s Suitcase began its life as a radio documentary for the CBC before being published as a children’s book. Since it was released in 2002, the book has been published in 40 countries and 29 languages and inspired the 2009 documentary, Inside Hana’s Suitcase.
