A scrap of time, by Ida Fink

 

This is an excellent collection of perceptive and gut-wrenching stories about the experience of Jews and others in Poland during the Holocaust. The stories address "actions" taken against Jews, round-ups, the struggles of people who sought hiding places, the hunger, but also the people who returned after liberation, and the imperfect recollections of people who survived horrendous circumstances. This is a very well-written and powerful collection of stories.
