Celebrating Ruth Gruber's Remarkable Life
Watch the amazing zoom recording of Ruth Gruber’s Induction into the Jewish Hall of Fame! This event celebrates the remarkable life, vision, and heroic tenacity of a twentieth-century icon: a pioneer, trailblazer, and humanitarian. Hear Curator Leslie Fried talk about Ms. Gruber’s time in Alaska. She was thirty years old and already a celebrated author, lecturer, and intrepid reporter when, in 1941, U.S. Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes appointed her Field Representative to the Alaska Territory.
