Henri Korn receives the Maly Kohn Professional Development Scholarship

Henri Korn was awarded the Maly Kohn Scholarship in December 2010 The award was presented by Maly Kohn’s daughter, Dr Miriam Weisz, and Jewish Holocaust Centre (JHC) President Pauline Rockman OAM.

Henri arrived at the Centre punctually for the award ceremony, but was called away urgently to guide a group of students through the museum. As a result, he almost missed the presentation! Henri’s dedication is no surprise to those who know and work with him, and would have made Maly Kohn proud

Maly Kohn’s family established the annual scholarship for JHC staff or volunteers to honour Maly and her commitment to Holocaust education Maly was a skilled and sensitive survivor guide who was passionate about wanting guides to improve their knowledge of the Holocaust, and also to become more proficient in their educational delivery Henri, a child survivor, is a JHC guide and Board member, and President of the Child Survivors of the Holocaust Since taking over the presidency of the Child Survivors, Henri has worked tirelessly to keep the memory of child survivors alive. The Maly Kohn scholarship will enable him to attend the World Federation of Child Survivors conference in Warsaw in August
