In 1933 Ginda Maizel graduated from a German commercial school in Riga. She then worked as a cashier in Leibovich’s shop. From 1935 she was an accountant at the firm “Schwarz & Co.” In June 1941 she was evacuated together with her family to the Palkino District of Yaroslavl Region, where she worked on a collective farm; in 1942 she worked on a collective farm in the Yani-Kurgan District of the Selodino Region, Kazakh SSR. In 1943 she moved to the town of Mary, Turkmen SSR, where she worked as a knitter at Voyentorg. In August 1945 she returned to Riga and until 1946 worked as a secretary-librarian at the Agricultural Cooperation Administration. In 1946–1948 she was a sales assistant at a small retail base, in 1948–1950 she worked at Shop No. 2 of Latrybsbyt. In 1950–1952 she did not work due to illness. From 1952 she worked at the “Sadarbiba” artel. In 1956 she was forced to stop working because of her health. In 1958–1963 she worked at the “Zvaigzne” factory as a button-covering operative. In 1963–1974 she was a printer at the Knitwear and Headwear Combine (from 1972, the combine of the production association “Liga”). In 1974 Ginda Maizel retired. In 1976 she applied for permission to travel to Israel for three months to visit her sister.

In 1939 she married Itskhok Aronovich Maisel (1909, Riga — 1942), who was killed at the front while serving in the ranks of the Soviet Army. Their marriage produced a son, Leopold Itskhokovich Maizel (born 1940, Riga — ?), chief dispatcher of the “Promtekhmontazh” trust.
