Ruth Gruber September 30 1911 - November 17 2016 was an American journalist photographer writer humanitarian and a United States government official. Born in Brooklyn to Russian Jewish immigrants she was encouraged to pursue her dream of becoming a writer. At age 20 she became the youngest person ever to receive a doctorate which was awarded for her dissertation on Virginia Woolf. She authored nineteen books including the National Jewish Book Award-winning biography Raquela 1978. She also wrote several memoirs documenting her astonishing experiences among them Ahead of Time 1991 Inside of Time 2002 and Haven 1983 which documents her role in the rescue of one thousand refugees from Europe and their safe transport to America. In the 1930s she established herself as a journalist writing about women under fascism and communism traveling as far as the Soviet Arctic. As World War II raged in Europe she turned her attention to the crisis of Jewish refugees: acting on behalf of the Roosevelt administration she escorted 1000 refugees from Italy to the United States and recorded their stories. She witnessed the scene at the Port of Haifa when Holocaust survivors on the ship Exodus 1947 were refused entry to British-controlled Palestine and she documented their deportation back to Germany. She was a recipient of the Norman Mailer Prize. Report on the Six Day War and an assessment of conditions in Israel and all the Middle East one year after the war. The Six-Day War also known as the June War 1967 Arab-Israeli War or Third Arab-Israeli War was fought between 5 and 10 June 1967 by Israel and the neighboring states of Egypt known at the time as the United Arab Republic Jordan and Syria.<br/> <br/> Relations between Israel and its neighbors were not normalized after the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. In 1956 Israel invaded the Sinai peninsula in Egypt with one of its objectives being the reopening of the Straits of Tiran that Egypt had blocked to Israeli shipping since 1950. Israel was eventually forced to withdraw but was guaranteed that the Straits of Tiran would remain open. A United Nations Emergency Force was deployed along the border but there was no demilitarization agreement.<br/> <br/> In the months prior to June 1967 tensions became dangerously heightened. Israel reiterated its post-1956 position that the closure of the Straits of Tiran to Israeli shipping would be a cause for war. In May Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser announced that the straits would be closed to Israeli vessels and then mobilized its Egyptian forces along its border with Israel in addition to kicking out UNEF. On 5 June Israel launched a series of preemptive airstrikes against Egyptian airfields asserting imminent attack from the Egyptians. <br/> <br/> The Egyptians were caught by surprise and nearly the entire Egyptian air force was destroyed with few Israeli losses giving the Israelis air supremacy. Simultaneously the Israelis launched a ground offensive into the Gaza Strip and the Sinai which again caught the Egyptians by surprise. After some initial resistance Nasser ordered the evacuation of the Sinai. Israeli forces rushed westward in pursuit of the Egyptians inflicted heavy losses and conquered the Sinai.<br/> <br/> Jordan had entered into a defence pact with Egypt a week before the war began; the agreement envisaged that in the event of war Jordan would not take an offensive role but would attempt to tie down Israeli forces to prevent them making territorial gains. About an hour after the Israeli air attack the Egyptian commander of the Jordanian army was ordered by Cairo to begin attacks on Israel; in the initially confused situation the Jordanians were told that Egypt had repelled the Israeli air strikes.<br/> <br/> Egypt and Jordan agreed to a ceasefire on 8 June and Syria agreed on 9 June; a ceasefire was signed with Israel on 11 June. In the aftermath of the war Israel had crippled the Egyptian Syrian and Jordanian militaries having killed over 20000 troops while losing fewer than 1000 of its own. The Israeli success was the result of a well-prepared and enacted strategy the poor leadership of the Arab states and their poor military leadership and strategy. Israel seized the Gaza Strip and the Sinai Peninsula from Egypt the West Bank including East Jerusalem from Jordan and the Golan Heights from Syria. Israel's international standing greatly improved in the following years. Its victory humiliated Egypt Jordan and Syria leading Nasser to resign in shame; he was later reinstated after protests in Egypt against his resignation. The speed and ease of Israel's victory would later lead to a dangerous overconfidence within the ranks of the Israel Defense Forces IDF contributing to initial Arab successes in the subsequent 1973 Yom Kippur War although ultimately Israeli forces were successful and defeated the Arab militaries. The displacement of civilian populations resulting from the war would have long-term consequences as 300000 Palestinians fled the West Bank and about 100000 Syrians left the Golan Heights.
