Ruth Weiss, the centenarian who 'waged war with her typewriter', dies at 101
Sept 5 (Reuters) — Ruth Weiss may have lived for more than a century, but she never inured herself to injustice.
The anger she felt at the inhumanity she saw around her fuelled her drive to keep writing and challenging oppression during her long, peripatetic life.
Weiss was a prolific author and journalist who bore witness to some of the 20th century’s greatest crimes, from the antisemitism of Nazi Germany to the racism of apartheid South Africa.
