Dr. Ruth also talks a little about her Orthodox Jewish parents. During World War II, Westheimer was sent from Frankfurt to a children's home in Switzerland after her father was rounded up by the Nazis; both her parents later died in the Holocaust. She was an only child. The war ended when she was 16. "I then went to Palestine, lived on a kibbutz, which is a collective farm," she explains, "and then worked in the underground movement as a sniper." (Dr. Ruth was a member of the Zionist paramilitary group the Irgun.) "So if you don't ask me good questions today, watch out," she teases interviewer Derek Blasberg. "I can still put five bullets in a little red circle."

Definitely something I did not know about Dr. Ruth. She's a fascinating individual and damn smart. I'd love to have a drink with her some time.
