Wow. I have seen biographies on Dr. Ruth and I used to watch her on television talk-shows for years growing up, but THIS I did NOT know.

Just a little useless, but interesting trivia for you.

This reminds me of Julia Child, the famous cook. She died a couple years ago, I think. Anyway, she used to work as a field agent for the OSS (our intelligence agency before it was CIA) in WWII

The future Dr. Ruth was born Karola Ruth Siegel in Germany in 1928, the only child of an Orthodox Jewish couple. In 1939, after young Karola's father had been taken by the Nazis, her mother and grandmother sent her to Switzerland to get her out of harm's way.  She did not see her family again, as her mother and grandmother lost their lives in the Holocaust.

"When I was in my routine training for the Israeli army as a teenager, they discovered completely by chance that I was a lethal sniper. I could hit the target smack in the center further away than anyone could believe. Not just that, even though I was tiny and not even much of an athlete, I was incredibly accurate throwing hand grenades too. Even today I can load a Sten automatic rifle in a single minute, blindfolded."
