Colonel Frank Cohn was born in Breslau, Germany in 1925. Cohn's father owned a store which was boycotted by the Nazis since the family was Jewish. He and his family managed to escape to the United States on October 30, 1938 -- just over one week before Kristallnacht. In 1943, Cohn was drafted into the US Army, where he served in an Intelligence unit.

One of the best interviews I listened to. I feel so sad when his family and extended family had to endure during WWII. I was stationed in Germany in the 1990's as a JAG officer and I can honestly say that was the best time I had in my 23 year career as a lawyer in the US Army

A couple of my friends and I had lunch with Colonel Cohn. He eventually became a member of the Army''s Military Police Corps. His experience and knowledge are unlimited. Today, we use the term "Great American" often. Colonel Frank Cohn is what "True American" means. He has been a friend and mentor to many members of the United States Army. God bless you Sir!

A nice educated man. Good interview. I differ on one statement. " Starting in 1938 Roosevelt changed the law and let Jewish immigrants into the country. In May 1939 the German ship St Louis left for Cuba with 938 Jewish refugees on board. Cuba took 20 refugees and refused the rest. The ship then travelled to NY. Days of negotiations, but US refused to take them. Quotes for European immigrants had been filled and would not accept any more. The ship travelled around for weeks, but no one would accept them. Ship returned to Antwerp. GB, France and Belgium accepted the refugees.
