Dr. Ruth

Remember her? She used to be seen on every talk show on TV. This little lady really told it like it was. I found a documentary on her life on Hulu. She was the 4-foot-7 spitfire sex therapist. Watching her life story was very interesting. She was born on June 4, 1924, in Karlstadt am Main, Germany. An only child. Her parents sent her to Switzerland when she was 10, when fascism broke out in her area, and she never saw them again. She later found that her father had died at Auschwitz, but she never learned what happened to her mother. She just disappeared. Ruth Westheimer died at age 96 after marrying three times, having two children, and 4 grandchildren. She was a sex therapist and teacher for many years. What an interesting woman.
