Just prior to World War II when anti-Semitism was commonplace, Greta was born into the hostile environment of a Transylvanian shtetl (Jewish village). Greta’s Passage is the story of one woman’s life-long struggle for acceptance, endurance and survival. As her youth was stripped away by marriage to a cruel and much older man, Greta survived her loveless marriage in Nazi-occupied Bucharest, Romania’s capital. She endured the hardships of motherhood during the brutal Communist regime until she was able to flee to Paris, France. And still the challenges continued. Uneducated, penniless and now a single mother, she found herself surrounded by spiteful and often hostile men, eager to take down the attractive and street-smart Greta. For everyone who enjoys an historical perspective, Greta’s Passage will provide the backdrop of the ever-changing Europe before, during and after the war that changed the world. It invites you to step inside the shoes of a courageous and ingenious woman. As you cry for her hardships and cheer for her success, this is the story that will reemerge in your mind long after the last word is read.
