biography:
Tamar Duke-Cohan, who now lives with her husband and two children (including Gideon '08) in Newton, had an eclectic childhood spent mostly in Israel, with extended stays in England, Germany and the United States. Coming from a family deeply affected by the Holocaust, she has conducted research on the Jews
of Germany and edited the Brzezin Yizkor book. Tamar is committed to preserving the memory of the Holocaust and hopes to motivate learners to
engage with the topic at both an emotional and an intellectual/moral level. She has developed training
programs and taught at the Harvard Extension School. She now works as a senior business analyst, envisioning and designing software applications.
Tamar volunteers at the Mayyim Hayyim
Community Mikveh and Education Center and at JewishGen, the leading Jewish online genealogy organization.
