After all the wacky Mister Rogers/Captain Kangaroo/Lee Marvin war stories out there I thought some of you guys would get a kick out of this article from the New Yorker:

Fascinating. I never knew that about her.
Wow. An a Holocaust survivor to boot. What a life.
Thanks for sharing that!
After all that she experienced, talking about sex probably isn't very intimidating for her. :D
She talked about her wartime experiences on the Howard Stern Show a while back. Howard was pressing her about having killed anyone, but I don't think that she ever admitted to shooting an enemy.

IIRC the story in the OP seemed to imply she never saw active action, just training. Who knows?
Well, if she didn't see action then maybe some Arab militiamen lived a little longer than they would have otherwise. :D
