(FOX NEWS) – Dr. Ruth Westheimer, the famous sex therapist
and media personality, has passed away at the age of 96.
Westheimer died on Friday surrounded by her family in New
York City, according to her publicist.
Known for her frank discussions of sexual topics and amusing
candor, Westheimer has appeared on numerous late-night talk
shows and authored multiple best-selling books.
Westheimer was born in Germany to a Jewish family. As the
Nazis came to power, her parents sent the ten-year-old girl to
a school in Switzerland for safety, remaining behind themselves
because of her elderly grandmother.
They were both subsequently sent to concentration camps by
the Gestapo, where they were killed.
