Juvenile Fiction. Historical Fiction. HTML:

A young Jewish girl recounts her experiences during a horrifying time in recent history.

As Rose begins her diary, she is in her third home since coming to Winnipeg. Traumatized by her experiences in the Holocaust, she struggles to connect with others, and above all, to trust again.

When her new guardian, Saul, tries to get Rose to deal with what happened to her during the war, she begins writing in her diary about how she survived the murder of the Jews in Poland by going into hiding.

Memories of herself and her mother being taken in by those willing to risk sheltering Jews, moving from place to place, being constantly on the run to escape capture, begin to flood her diary pages. Recalling those harrowing days, including

when they stumbled on a resistance cell deep in the forest and lived underground in filthy conditions, begins to take its toll on Rose.

As she delves deeper into her past, she is haunted by the most terrifying memory of all. Will she find the courage to bear witness to her mother's ultimate sacrifice?

PIECES OF THE PAST recounts a girl's adaptation to Canada after being torn from her home in the Poland. Rose Rabinowitz finds herself in Winnipeg in 1948, having been sent to Canada as a war orphan. The new family that has taken her in includes a father, Saul, who is a psychiatrist. Saul encourages Rose to write in a diary about her war memories as a form of therapy and healing. The novel moves quickly between Rose's past and present, and by the end of the book, Rose's future is promising but also realistic. This is a powerful, deeply affecting book. It is sensitively written but doesn't pull its punches.
