HMC To Host
Film Screening!
On Jan. 27

to sit down and work each day,
whether on a client's manuscript,
my QuickBooks, or my websites. As
a result, my workdays flowed more
smoothly and I got more done
In 2013, Kohen was invited to
write a piece for an anthology, Bold
is Beautiful, edited by a friend,
Kim Boudreau Smith. Her offer-
ing was called "How to Plan for an
Extraordinary Life A second Bold
is Beautiful anthology was published
last year, with a piece by Kohen
titled "This Journey Called Life
Soon after the first book was pub-
lished, Kohen said, things got busy.
Dr. Anita Jackson, another writer
in Smith's anthology, had started a
web TV show, Outrageous Success
Women's TV (www.oswtv.com). In
a format similar to ABC-TV's The
View, Jackson and four co-hosts
spend a half-hour discussing an
issue of interest to women. Topics
have included "What is Beauty?"
and "The Power of Sisterhood:'
When one of the original co-hosts
dropped out 10 days before the first
shoot, Jackson invited Kohen to join
the group. She signed on to do a
year's worth of programs, traveling
to California to shoot four programs
at a time.
"We just clicked:' she says of
Jackson and the other three co-hosts.
Taping the programs "was like being
with old friends:'
She also started an hour-long
podcast program, "Midlife Makeover
Radio with Belle" (boldradiostation.
com/team/belle-kohen).
Amanda Cockels, a Realtor
and escrow officer who lives in
Bloomfield Hills, listens to Kohen's
radio show every week for insight
about finding her "encore" career.
"Belle is passionate and focused
on providing growth and success in
other woman," she said. "I person-
ally have found her career coaching
insightful to the changing times in
the marketplace'
In February, Kohen will launch an
online magazine, Unleashed, aimed
at "daring women 50 and above'
she says. She hopes to publish four
issues a year.
Kohen's latest venture is boutique
empowerment getaways, where
she'll rent a timeshare at a resort
for a weekend, hire a gourmet chef
and provide concierge services for a
group of six to eight women enlisted
by her personal-coach friends.
The first one is scheduled for late
February in Oceanside, Calif.
"I love to throw a good party!" she
says.

T

he Holocaust Memorial
Center Zekelman Family
Campus will present
three screenings of the Sundance
Festival award-winning film,
Watchers of the Sky, as part of its
annual International Holocaust
Remembrance Day commemora-
tion, Tuesday, Jan. 27.
Screenings will take place from
10 a.m.-noon at the Berman
Center for Performing Arts in West
Bloomfield and from 7-9 p.m. at
both the Holocaust Memorial Center
(HMC) in Farmington Hills and the
Jewish Community Center in Ann
Arbor. Admission is free; donations
will be accepted.
Watchers of the Sky examines
the life and legacy of Polish-Jewish
lawyer and linguist Raphael Lemkin,
who coined the term "genocide."
Before Lemkin, the notion of
accountability for war crimes was
virtually non-existent. After experi-
encing the barbarity of the Holocaust
firsthand, he devoted his life to con-
vincing the international community
that there must be legal retribution
for mass atrocities targeted at minor-
ities, asking, "Why is the killing of a
million a lesser crime than the kill-
ing of an individual?"
An impassioned visionary, Lemkin
confronted world apathy in a tireless
battle for justice, setting the stage for
the Nuremberg trials and creation of
the International Criminal Court.
"Hosting events in honor of
International Holocaust Day of
Remembrance, which this year
marks the 70th anniversary of the
liberation of Auschwitz, is espe-
cially significant for us," said HMC
Executive Director Stephen M.
Goldman. "By expanding the hours
of our usual programming and
adding locations, we will have the
opportunity to reach more people"
In addition to the screening,
the HMC will host museum tours
beginning at 1 p.m. on Jan. 27.
Participants also will have the oppor-
tunity to meet a Holocaust survivor
after the tour.
The events of the day are being
made possible with the support of
the Anti-Defamation League, PNC
Bank and Masco Corporation.
The Holocaust Memorial Center is
open from 9:30 a.m.-5 p.m. Sunday-
Thursday (last admission at 3:30
p.m.); and from 9:30 a.m.-3 p.m.
Friday (last admission at 1:30 p.m.).
Admission is $8 for adults, $6 for
seniors and college students and $5
for children.
