Dear Ruth, in reading your books, you mention many times words that your mother always said, "As long as there is life, there is hope." Do you believe that is what kept you going the most? In reading about your world as a young girl into a young woman, living in that horrid world, you have amazed me and inspired me. Bless you Ruth for what you have taught to those who saw it happen and to those who never thought it could happen.

hello! i am reading the cage again. i loved it! its hard to believe how people such as the nazi's could go through with everything they did. i would hope that people have learned from there mistakes, and something as drastic as this doesnt happen again. its unbelivable how much we take for granted, and we dont relize it. your courage in strength gives me hope that the world can do the same. i look forward to reading to life, and the holocaust lady. thank you for writing the cage and being able to tell the world everything that happened to you.

I really enjoyed reading your book, The Cage. I feel so honored that you shared your story with the world.
Reading your book has helped me come to terms with some losses I have gone through. You had such a strong will to survive for your Mother and other family members. I am sure your book has inspired and will contnue to inspire others.
How did you find the will to keep living after going through so much as a young girl? I look forward to reading, To Life next. Sincerely, Teresa Stallings

I don't want to cause pain, I can't even begin to imagine how you must feel about your past.... But I have a few more questions.
Is Riva a nickname, short for Rifkele?
How did your name change from Riva Minska to Ruth Minsky?
Why did Laibele's grave say Minski?

I am an 8th grade teacher. I have been reading your book to my students. I have cried and continue to cry every time I read this to my students. Thank you for sharing your story with us.

Dear Ruth,
My grandmothers' name is Jume Minsky (later on changed to Obronsky) and is one of your father's sisters who emigrated to Argentina (with Ema and several other sisters) before the war. José S., an MD from Miami, and a cousin of yours gave me your name. I live in Montreal and would very much like to get a hold of you. I work at the University of Montreal. Best regards and hope to hear from you.
Oscar
