Sigmund A. Cohn / Suzanne Lewy Cohn Collection 1837-1997
No full textThe collection consists predominantly of correspondence between Sigmund A. Cohn and his parents, his letters to various public and private agencies in an unsuccesful attempt to get his parents out of Germany as well as correspondence related to obtain restitution. Included in the collection are genealogical papers, autobiographies of various family members, and documents related to Sigmund A. Cohn's studies and work.Sigmund Albert Cohn (June 6, 1898 - March 14, 1997), Professor of Law at the University of Georgia, was born in Breslau, Germany. He studied law and economics at the University of Breslau, where he was awarded the law degree 'magna cum laude' in 1921. After serving his legal apprenticeship he joined the Department of Justice in Berlin and was appointed as a lifetime judge in 1921. He married Suzanne Lewy (born November 23, 1902, Breslau, died August 1987, Athens, Georgia) in 1925. In 1933 he was ousted from his position, when Hitler's racial decrees removed Jewish public servants. Therefore the Cohn family emigrated to Genoa, Italy, where Sigmund Cohn earned a doctor of jurisprudence with high honors in 1934. Subsequently he affiliated with a law practice and became an assistant to the chair of economics at the University of Genoa. The Cohn family was forced to emigrate again, when Mussolini, having joined with the Axis, instituted Hitler's racial decrees in Italy. Knowing the obstacles to obtaining a visa to enter the United States, Sigmund Cohn initially obtained visas enabling his family to emigrate to Colombia, South America or Costa Rica. At the same time he applied to numerous American colleges and universities for a teaching position which, if secured, would enable immigration to the US outside of the strictures of American immigration laws. He succeeded in obtaining an assistant professorship in languages at the University of Georgia. 1939 Sigmund Cohn came to Athens, Georgia, with his wife Susan and his two daughters, Eva and Marianne. Sigmund Cohn taught Italian, German, and Spanish courses at the University of Georgia until 1944, when he became an assistant professor at the law school.He became a full professor in 1947. He taught a variety of commercial law courses and initiated courses in international law. Along with Prof. Robert Leavell, Dr. Cohn played a central role in the recodification of Georgia's corporations law in the 1960s. He retired in 1964. In the early 1930s Sigmund Cohn co-authored two German books commenting on aspects of German law. He was the author of numerous book reviews and articles published in American law journals.List of documents in file (provided by donor)Photographs removed to Photograph Collectiondigitize

Hillel Cohn
No full textJennifer Tilton interviews Hillel Cohn, a religious leader in the Inland Empire. Cohn began the interview explaining that he was born in Berlin, Germany in 1939. When he was a baby, his family had to escape persecution. Though originally planning to go to Palestine, the family settled in the United States where some restrictions were put onto them. As his father was a Rabbi, that was the same path that Cohn followed. Cohn, when settled in San Bernardino after seminary studies in Ohio, worked alongside Rabbi Norman Feldheym. Influenced by his own Rabbi father, Cohn was involved in the Civil Rights movement and community activism. Cohn’s spoke on his involvement within the African American community, being uncomfortable with a certain Yiddish term, and how the segregation in Ohio disturbed him greatly. He also explained living during the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., the Vietnam War, and working with Feldheym in his congregation. After speaking about being more comfortable with CORE and SNCC than the Urban League and issues his congregation had with his activism, Cohn talks about Sammy Davis, Jr and of knowing Ceaser Chavez. When speaking about Frances Grice, Valerie Pope, and the freedom schools, the interviewee talks about racism in the local government. Two of San Bernardino’s past mayors, Al Ballard and Bud Mauldin, had spoken insensitive comments about events at the time. Cohn also spoke on the contributions of interfaith interactions and the Interfaith Social Action Council that originated from the San Bernardino Council of Churches. The interview ends with Cohn speaking on the Human Relations Commission. Though it had ended some while before, Cohn expressed his wish to restart the Humans Relations Commission to help with the city’s humans’ relations
Cult: A Composite Novel
No full textCult (redacted)
The first component of the thesis is a composite novel called Cult which falls into two parts with seven narratives in each. Part 1 tracks the protagonist, Ellen, from her first involvement with the cult through to her eventually leaving it. Although fiction, the first half of the book answers the kinds of questions the author is asked when people discover that she was once a sannyasin (a follower of the guru Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh). While the experiences of meditation, group therapy and communal living are all faithfully rendered within the stories, the need for strong characters, narrative drive and a lightness of touch takes precedence.
Part 2 picks up Ellen’s story some twenty or so years later and explores what becomes of her in middle age. It also looks at other groups in society, such as academia, the law and the internet dating community which each have their own jargon, hierarchies, rituals and rules but are not considered to be cults.
The book examines the question raised in the Epigraph, ‘how do we be together when we feel so alone’ with a focus on relationships other than the familial and the romantic.
Collisions, Chasms and Connections: a Performative Exploration of the Composite Novel Form
The second part of the thesis is both a critical and creative response to three contemporary American books: Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout; A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan; and Legend of a Suicide by David Vann. The critical element comprises a close reading of the three books; a chronological reconstruction of their overarching storylines; and a consideration of what their authors have said about writing the books. It concludes that, in the composite novel, the simultaneous presentation of multiple views and storylines operate much like a 3D image to give the impression of depth to the characters and situations rendered. The creative element of the essay is a playful and personal response to the texts

Representations of relative Cohn path algebras
No full textPolítica de acceso abierto tomada de: https://v2.sherpa.ac.uk/id/publication/11436We study relative Cohn path algebras, also known as Leavitt-Cohn path algebras, and we realize them as partial skew group rings. To do this we prove uniqueness theorems for relative Cohn path algebras. Furthermore, given any graph E we define E-relative branching systems and prove how they induce representations of the associated relative Cohn path algebra. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for faithfulness of the representations associated to E-relative branching systems. This
improves previous results known to Leavitt path algebras of row-finite graphs with no sinks. To prove this last result we show first a version, for relative Cohn-path algebras, of the reduction theorem for Leavitt path algebras.The first author was partially supported by the Spanish MEC and Fondos FEDER through project MTM2016-76327-C3-1-P; and by the Junta de Andalucía and Fondos FEDER, jointly, through project FQM-7156.
