Bob Cohen - Volunteer of the Year

Beth Seldin Dotan, Director, Institute for Holocaust Education, is thrilled to honor Bob as Volunteer of the Year. “His time and devotion to Holocaust survivors in our community is immeasurable and we cannot thank Bob enough for the quiet and priceless service he provides on our Governance Council,” said Dotan. Cohen has served on the Institute’s Board for more than five years. He chaired 2007’s Kristallnacht event at the Joslyn Museum and the 2010 Yom Ha Shoah observance at Temple Israel. But, the hours of volunteer time devoted to the reparation needs of Omaha survivors is perhaps, his greatest gift. He has worked with Beit Tzedek Legal Services for Holocaust Survivors and connected Kutak-Rock offices outside Omaha to Beit Tzedek to further pro-bono legal assistance for local Holocaust survivors.
