She Was Only Thirteen

Hana Brady (Hana "Hanička" Bradyová, Germanized in the writing on her suitcase as "Hanna Brady") (16 May 1931 – 23 October 1944) was a Jewish girl and Holocaust victim. She is the subject of the 2002 non-fiction children's book Hana's Suitcase, written by Karen Levine.

Along with her older brother George, Hana was imprisoned by the German Nazis as a Jew, and sent to the Theresienstadt prison camp. In 1944, she was transferred to the Auschwitz concentration camp. While her brother survived imprisonment by working as a labourer, Hana was killed in the gas chambers a few hours after she had arrived on 23 October 1944. She was only 13 years of age.
