BOOK - Pier 21, The Gateway that Changed Canada.
By: Trudy Duivenvoorden Mitic & J.P. LeBlanc.

Pier 21 in Halifax served for two years as the front door to Canada, the entryway through which more than a million immigrants passed. This book captures the hope and trepidation of these strangers in a new land. The radical transition they experienced produced a rich group of stories ranging from humour to crime.

Beginning with the first wave of European settlers and the early problems of quarantine, progressing through the depression and the wars, the reader relives the bustle of staff, translators, volunteers, soldiers, children, war brides, refugees, and immigrants.

Pier 21 is a moving account of the human drama that unfolded at this historic site.
