Dr. Betty Brodsky Cohen was born and raised in Brooklyn, N.Y. and has lived in Jerursalem, Israel since 1986. She holds a doctorate in Clinical Social Work, is a trained family therapist, logotherapist, grief counselor, and is currently a Holocaust researcher as well.  She is the daughter of two Holocaust survivors, her mother was from what is today Belarus and together with her younger brother, were the only survivors of their family.  Her mother's story is one of courage and resilience and Betty is currently awaiting the publication of her upcoming book based on her mother's escape from the Novogrudok Labor Camp. Betty has proven that this mass escape through a hand-dug tunnel was the most successful known escape of he the Holocaust. Betty's father, the sole survivor of his family was from Ukraine, fled with the Russian army during the War. She grew up knowing very little of his story as he was willing to share very little of his pre-war or war-time experiences, Betty is still piecing together his history and that of his family from travel and archival material.  She is proud to be Ronnie's first cousin.
