Family game night at the Westheimer house


Some things I didn't know about Dr. Ruth Westheimer:
1. She was a trained sniper with the Israeli Defense Force.
2. She almost lost both legs when a cannon ball from Jordan
smashed through the wall of her dormitory and exploded.
3. Before she became a sex therapist, she taught kindergarten.

She was also one of a handful (less than twenty) of Jews to escape from Sobibor death camp. The Jews horded a bunch of big knives, axes and hammers. Used them to beat and hack the Nazi guards to death. Broke the Russian POWs next door out, then ran 800 yards through a mine field to the forest where she(and they) spent the rest of the war learning sniping on the job. The rest of her family died in the gas chambers. She was the only survivor. She might come off on TV as a sawed off little pervert, but "Bad To The BONE" doesn't even start to cover that woman.---Ray
