Schneider was born in Berlin and spent her eventful childhood and teenage years growing up in Germany during the Great Depression and World War II. After the war, she and her mother and brother lived in a small village near the Baltic Sea in the Russian-occupied part of the country.
After escaping from behind the Iron Curtain to postwar West Germany, she married and had four children and lived for many years in the south of Germany. In 1959 she and her husband and children immigrated to the United States, where their fifth and last child was born.
At the same time that she was busy raising her family, Ms. Schneider joined the workforce in her new country. She eventually became a histopathology laboratory technologist and over the years has been employed in several San Francisco Bay Area hospitals. At present, she is working at the University of California, San Francisco.
Writing her life’s story was originally meant as a legacy for her children and grandchildren, who until recently knew nothing about her life before her marriage.
The author currently lives in Walnut Creek, California.ver menos
