yes, very brave woman and as the article points out, she was never quite the same after the war because of her experiences.

One question I have concerns this quote:


Quote:
the Gestapo tortured her — beating her, stripping her naked, then submerging her repeatedly in a bath of ice-cold water until she began to black out from lack of oxygen.

why is it torture when the GESTAPO does this, but when American interrogators use a similar technique, i.e. waterboarding, it is not torture?
