produced by Arthur Cohn.
duction to a Holocaust theme. Said a
young hotel manager, "Six million
dead." That's "as if they murdered
every bicyclist in this city."
A couple of days later, Cohn
arrived in Hollywood to report on his
Shanghai triumph and participate in
the first annual International Jewish
Film Festival.
He officiated at the American pre-
miere of Children of the Night and
presented an award to veteran actor
Gregory Peck.
Los Angeles will also host the world
premiere of One Day in September.
The event is slated for Jan. 18,
under the auspices of the American
Film Institute.
The film is a "thriller with docu-
mentary footage," says Cohn, with
Michael Douglas in the central role of
the commentator.
Cohn is a third-generation Swiss
citizen and a resident of Basel.
His father, Marcus, was a respected
lawyer and a leader of the Swiss reli-
gious Zionist movement. He settled in
Israel in 1949, helped write many of
the basic laws of the new state, and
served as Israel's assistant attorney gen-
eral until his death in 1953.
The family's Zionist roots go even
deeper. The producer's grandfather
and namesake, Rabbi Arthur Cohn,
was the chief rabbi of Basel. He was a
friend of Theodor Herzl and one of
the few leaders in the Orthodox rab-
binate to support the founder of mod-
em Zionism.
It was because of this support, says
Cohn, that Herzl chose Basel, rather
than one of Europe's more glittering
capitals, as the site of the First Zionist
Congress in 1897.
Of the filmmaker's three children,
two sons have served in the Israeli army
and studied at Israeli universities.
