    Biography
    David Cohen (Deventer 31 December 1882 - Amsterdam 3 September 1967) was chairman of the Jewish Council from February 1941 until September 1943. Before the war he was a professor of ancient history at the Municipal University Amsterdam and professor by special appointment at Leiden University. Besides his scientific career he was closely involved with helping Jewish refugees. He was secretary of the in 1933 established Committee for Special Jewish Interests.
    In November 1940 Cohen was removed from his position of professor due to his Jewish ancestry and fired in February 1941. After the liberation he was reinstated at the University of Amsterdam until his retirement in 1953.
    In September 1943 Cohen and the remaining members of the Jewish Council, including co-chairman Asscher, were arrested and transferred to Westerbork. Cohen experienced the liberation in the ghetto Theresienstadt. After the war he was prohibited by the Jewish Honour Council to take up any position within the Jewish community. In 1955 he wrote the book "Zwervend en Dolend: de joodse vluchtelingen in Nederland in de jaren 1933-1940" ("Wandering and Roaming: Jewish refugees in the Netherlands in the years 1933-1940")
