Prior to this, she had served as US Ambassador to the [[United Nations]] from 1993 to 1997. Of Jewish descent, her parents converted to [[Catholicism]] to avoid persecution in what was to become a [[Nazi]] dominated [[Czechoslovakia]]. In 1948 the family moved to America after fleeing to London in 1939.
