Karola Ruth Siegel

Karola Ruth Siegel was born in Germany in 1928. In 1939 her father was taken away by the Nazis and her mother and grandmother sent the young Jewish girl out of harm's way to Switzerland. She would never see her family again as they were all lost in the Holocaust. When she was 16 years old, and without a family, she moved to where Israel would come to be a joined Haganah, an underground Jewish military organization. She was trained as a guard and a sniper, though she never did kill anyone.

She eventually was severely wounded in 1948 thus ending her military career. She moved to Paris and studied Psychology and even taught Kindergarten. She eventually furthered her education after moving to the United States.

So, the next time you listen to Dr. Ruth....there's a lot more to her than you probably realized..
