Jewish Brooklyn judicial candidate Tehilah Berman says she was robbed of victory when her Protestant opponent changed her name to Cohen to seem more kosher at the ballot box.
Lawyer Caroline Piela took the name Cohen from her husband Steven Cohen, who she married in 2006. Though she was known socially and professionally as Caroline Piela-Cohen, she didn’t officially change her name to Cohen until just weeks before she announced her campaign, advertising in Jewish newspapers with the name “Cohen” in jumbo-sized capital letters, just above the words “Tzedek Tzedek Tirdof.”

93-year-old Holocaust survivor Ed Mosberg from Morris Plains, NJ, has no time for Rep. ­Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s statements last week, when she called the southern border’s migrant detention centers “concentration camps.”
“She should be removed from Congress. She’s spreading anti-Semitism, hatred and stupidity,” Mosberg told The Post. “The people on the border aren’t forced to be there — they go there on their own will. If someone doesn’t know the difference, either they’re playing stupid or they just don’t care.”
“She should be taught a lesson,” he said. “If you’re not there, you will never know what happened. She doesn’t want to learn — she’s looking for excuses. I would like to nominate her for the Nobel Prize in stupidity.”

Henriette Cohen, France’s oldest survivor of Nazi Germany’s Auschwitz concentration camp, has died. She was 101.
Cohen stayed silent about the horrors she lived through at the death camp in Poland for four decades before finding the strength to describe it to younger generations. She said it was necessary to speak out so “no one could deny the Holocaust.”
President Emmanuel Macron on Friday paid tribute to a “courageous and strong woman, generous and committed.”
Born in 1917, Cohen was detained with her mother-in-law in a Gestapo round-up in May 1944, near Marseille. The following month, they were deported to Auschwitz. Cohen was consigned to forced labor. Her mother-in-law was sent directly to the gas chambers.
