Willy Schneider Pens New Memoir of His Unexpected Life

In his new memoir, "Such... is Life: The Story of the Trials and Tribulations of an Immigrant" (published by Trafford Publishing), Willy Schneider tells his personal story living a life of, as he calls them, derailments.

Growing up, Schneider's younger years were full of confusion caused by the divorce of his parents and apprehension due to his tyrannical grandmother. After working on a large farm, he was drafted into the German Army and after boot camp, he was promptly deployed to Russia where he experienced overwhelming hardship, brutality, death and misery. Even though he was wounded several times, he survived only to find his hometown occupied by Russian troops. It was this reason that Schneider decided to flee Germany, finding a new home in Canada.
The initial years in his new homeland were a cultural shock and full of surprises: some quite funny, others not. After nearly five years in jobs he would have never imagined doing, he finally found his niche in the financial service business. Now retired and enjoying his golden years, Schneider shares that he has never regretted his decision to emigrate.
Even though his life was a roller-coaster, Schneider never lost his sense of humor describing the ups and many more downs during this walk through life.
