Marthe Cohn, a French Jewish Spy in Nazi Germany, Dies at 105
As a child, Stephan Cohn was often sent from his home in Pittsburgh to France in the summer, to spend time with his mother Marthe's family. Once in the early 1970s, when he was about 12, his uncle Fred took him to a candy store and introduced him to the shop owner as Marthe's son. The man said without hesitation: Take whatever you want.
'What was that about?' Stephan recalled asking his uncle when they left.
