Ruth Gruber, a Fearless Chronicler of the Jewish Struggle, Dies at 105

”Ruth Gruber, a photojournalist and author who documented Stalin’s gulags, life in Nazi Germany and the plight of Jewish refugees intercepted by the British on the infamous passage of the Exodus to Palestine in 1947, died on Thursday at her home in Manhattan. She was 105.”

We remember pioneering photojournalist Ruth Gruber, who passed away yesterday at age 105. The first journalist to enter the Soviet Arctic in 1935, she escorted Holocaust refugees to America in 1944, covered the Nuremberg trials in 1946, and reported on the plight of the ship Exodus in 1947. The Jewish Museum presented the documentary Ahead of Time: The Extraordinary Journey of Ruth Gruber at the 2010 New York Jewish Film Festival.

Ruth Gruber was the youngest PhD graduate in the world, earning her degree at the age of 20 with a doctoral thesis on Virginia Woolf (the first academic work on the author), when she trudged out into the Arctic and became the first journalist to interview prisoners at a Soviet Gulag in 1935. Born in 1911 in Brooklyn to Russian Jewish immigrants, she was a long way from home, but it was just the beginning of an international journey that would take her from remote corners of pre-statehood Alaska to the harrowing postwar internment camps of Europe. Now 104 years old, she’s had one of the most intrepid photography careers of the 20th century, and that legacy is being celebrated in Ruth Gruber, Photojournalist at Brooklyn College Library.
