5.0 out of 5 starsInspirational
By Mary on January 14, 2000
Format: Mass Market Paperback
This is the inspirational story of the life of holocaust survivor Dr. Ruth Westheimer. Throughout an early life of adversity, Dr. Ruth keeps on soldering through without a hint of self-pity.
At the age of eight, Dr. Ruth was evacuated, with hundreds of other children, from Germany to Switzerland. She lived in an orphanage for Jewish children, and did heavy house-cleaning for half the day and attended school for the other half. She never saw her parents or grandmother again.
At 17 Dr. Ruth emigrated to Israel to live on a Kibbutz, where she was exploited. Living in a tent, her job was cleaning full-time, and no one suggested forther schooling. After a year she left the Kibbutz and supported herself in various jobs and attended school.
The account of her years in France and her early years in the US is riviting. Dr. Ruth's strong spirit shining through every situation is inspirational.

5.0 out of 5 starsWhat a woman!
By meiringen on March 12, 2003
Format: Paperback
Great autobiography of Dr. Ruth! So many things that I didn't know about her: fled Nazi Germany at age 10, never saw her family again, lived on a kibbutz in Israel, was a soldier for the Haganah, then came to the USA, where she found her career and true love.
Very open and candid, and also tragic at times. It's a book I couldn't put down, once I started reading it! Highly recommended!
