About Missing Pieces: My Life As a Child Survivor of the Holocaust

Until the age of seven, Olga Barsony lived an idyllic life in Szarvas, a small town in Hungary, surrounded by her doting, observant Jewish family. In spring 1944, Olga & most of her family were interned in the Auspitz labour camp shortly after the Nazi occupation of Hungary. Eventually reunited after the war, the family moved back to Szarvas, only to face harsh repression at the hands of the Communists a few short years later. In 1957, the Barsonys immigrated to Winnipeg, where Olga met & married her husband Orland Verrall, the cantor at the local synagogue. Olga & Orland's love for each other, the birth of their two daughters, & the promise of a peaceful, contented life together helped to build the foundation of a new start in Canada - a seemingly happy ending to an otherwise traumatic number of years. Sadly for Olga Verral, she would have to endure many more tribulations as she undertook the painful process of re-living the horror of the Holocaust as a child, while at the same time wrestling with the ghosts that had been haunting her life ever since. Anger, sadness, & a deep sense of emptiness would be a recurring theme & source of frustration as Olga undertook rebuilding her life in the aftermath of such intensely excruciating events. After the death of her husband & subsequent emotional breakdown, doctors encouraged her to write her memoirs as a form of therapy. In this way Olga Verral takes her first steps on the long journey towards recovery & tries finally to write a genuinely triumphant ending to her life story. ''Missing Pieces'' makes a significant contribution to the growing genre of writing by child survivors of the Holocaust, & is the first Holocaust memoir to expose the little-known Auspitz labour camp.
