Notities over Willy Cohn

Dr. Willy Cohn (12 December 1888 in Breslau u 29 November 1941 in Kovno / Kaunas, Lithuania) was a German historian and teacher. During the Nazi era, he documented the Jewish life in Breslau in his diaries, until he and his family were deported to German-occupied Lithuania and killed.

Cohn's diaries, translated into English and condensed, were published in 2012 as No Justice in Germany: The Breslau Diaries, 1933-1941 by Stanford University Press. Along with Victor Klemperer, Cohn was one of the most important chroniclers of the crimes of the Nazi regime against the Jewish people.
As the persecution of Jews in Germany grew worse, the Cohns considered emigration. Cohn and his wife visited Palestine in 1937, but it offered no employment prospects to Cohn, who was not healthy enough to perform physical labor. When they wanted to flee after the Kristallnacht in 1938, it was too late; after the outbreak of the Second World War, the Nazi regime no longer allowed emigration. The Cohns endured the Nazi reign of terror in Breslau; they were arrested on November 21, 1941 and deported to German-occupied Lithuania. A few days later, on November 29, 1941, Cohn and his family were shot in the Ninth Fort, together with 2000 other Jews from Breslau and Vienna.[3] In 2010, a plaque commemorating Cohn was unveiled on Wroclaw's Market Square.
