Books by Gita Zikherman-Greisdorf

The book brings you to a time before World War II, to the life of a young girl whose world is about to change forever. She lost loved ones, her home, all her possessions, and her dream to be a concert pianist. 

From the ages of nine till thirteen, Gita experienced hunger, hard work, and difficult living conditions. She had dreams of having a dress, a pair of shoes, and a real bed with a mattress and pillows. But most of all, she dreamed to return home to her beloved grandparents. These years have taught Gita to have an appreciation for everything good, to be compassionate to all people, and to tolerate adversity. 

She learned to understand that life is a battlefield, and you have to do your best to stand your ground, have an open mind, and conquer the difficulties. 

Then, you become a mensch.

The stories in The Serpentine Roads of Life are based on Gita’s life experiences, as well as those of family and friends who touched her very deeply and taught her to have the right outlook in the hard school of life. These everyday stories of women’s and men’s lives take place in post-World War II Soviet Union, Israel, and the United States.

Gita put her heart and her love into writing about those dear to her people.

 With great anticipation, she hopes to share some valuable lessons in life which she herself has learned. Gita believes that every woman will find in this book a little part of her life.
