Hard Passage: A Mennonite Family's Long Journey from Russia to Canada Paperback - 2007
by Arthur Kroeger
From the rear cover
After a distinguished career as one of Canada's top public servants, Arthur Kroeger turned his formidable intelligence and curiosity on his own family's history--a history to which he had hitherto paid little attention. And what an extraordinary and moving tale he found! He takes us, over the course of three generations, from a bustling Mennonite village in Russian Ukraine in the late nineteenth century to the windswept landscape of Alberta in the mid-twentieth century. He also takes us deep into family traumas--the terrors of the anarchist uprisings in the Ukraine, the hunger of the Depression years on the Prairies. Kroeger's account of his family's struggles illuminates the Canadian immigrant experience with the kind of poignant detail often lost in more general histories. His commitment to recording the strength and stamina of the Mennonite community is impressive, but it is the meticulous research and affectionate tone of this memoir that brings Hard Passage alive. Charlotte Gray
