Strength In Stories recommendation by 

I read books for entertainment and so that I can encounter different characters. I think others should read so they can see the world in books.

Book Summary

This book is about a coordinator named Fumiko at the Tokyo Holocaust Center, who uncovers a story of a young Jewish girl named Hana. It all started because she is trying to raise awareness of the Holocaust in Tokyo. She posts a request for museums to give her artifacts, and one museum gives her a mysterious suitcase with the name Hana Brady. The story is about her journey trying to find out who this girl is.

Favorite Part or Fun Fact

My favorite thing about the book is that each chapter is either Fumiko's perspective in uncovering this girl's life, or a piece of information in Hana's perspective.
