Good book!

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.

Saw the play "Becoming Doctor Ruth" and got a hold of the book. The play was great. The book is not as good.

Dr. Ruth hat mir als Frau immer sehr imponiert. Die von ihr verfaßte Autobiografie zeigt ein Leben, daß nicht zwangsläufig einen Erfolg wie den ihren vermuten ließ.
