Abstract:
As a young man, August Cohn was a political activist, fighting against the Nazi party in Germany, and as a result was arrested in April, 1933. He spent the next twelve years in Nazi prisons and concentration camps, persecuted as a political prisoner and as a Jew. A bona fide hero, he played a significant role in the resistance while in the camps.
