How sad I feel to learn that Dr. Ruth's father was murdered at Auschwitz about 2 weeks after I was born (in Brooklyn, NY).
Also according to Ask Dr. Ruth, the recent documentary about her, it isn't known when her mother perished, along with the millions killed by the Nazi Fascists.

Despite her tragic young life, brilliant dynamo Dr. Ruth has been bringing such positivity and light to us! Baruch HaShem.

A possible correction? Didn't she meet and marry her 2nd husband in Paris, and come to the US with him and their daughter Miriam, on the ship Liberty?

One last comment: I appreciate and share Dr. Ruth's sense of outrage about the removal of babies and children from their asylum-seeking parents at our southern border. We Jews know what such horror and trauma is like. Now, if only more Jews could have similar empathy for Palestinians abused by Israelis....Yet it seems all too common that our post-Holocaust trauma prevents, rather than nurtures, such empathy ~ for our own cousins.
