2G Tuesday: Debbie Cohn

  • Holocaust Memorial & Tolerance Center 100 Crescent Beach Road Glen Cove, NY, 11542 United States (map)

In this program, the second in our series of presentations by the children of Holocaust Survivors (2Gs), Debbie Cohn presents the story of her mother, Ilse Loeb (neé Morgenstern). Ilse grew up in Vienna, but in the wake of “Kristallnacht,” at the age of 13, her parents sent her to the Netherlands for safety. Ilse was later forced into hiding, moving to various locations to keep ahead of the Nazis. While she survived the war, she never saw her parents again.
