Ingeborg Rapoport is 102 and has become, it's thought, the oldest person in the world to be awarded a doctorate. It's been a long time coming. She started working on her doctorate in the 1930s. But this was Germany in the 1930s and Ingeborg's mother was Jewish. She was denied entry into her oral examination under Hitler's anti-semitic race laws. But this summer she passed the oral exam and reclaimed the title that was denied her all those years ago. She spoke to Eddie about how her interest in medicine went back even further.
