What a surprise!...

I’m referring to the late, great Madeline Albright who passed away at the end of March. She was brought up as a Christian, but her parents converted from Judaism to Christianity, which is understandable since they (and Madeline) were from Czechoslovakia and were around during the time of Hitler. (Madeline was never told that her parents once were Jews.)

Madeline and her family came to the United States in 1948 after the Communist coup in Prague.

When she grew up she became the first woman to reach such a high position as United States Secretary of State.

WJC President...
