The awakening to her own dif-
ficulties occurred at a conference
she attended to help one of her
clients who had been diagnosed
with Asperger syndrome. She began
to seek professional opinions and,
in 2009, received her diagnosis:
Asperger syndrome/autism — a
spectrum of complex brain disorders
that result in social, behavioral and
communication problems.
In 2015, Cohen published a slim
but well-received book, Six-Word
Lessons on Female Asperger Syndrome.
Her goal was to enable others to gain
practical knowledge of life on the
spectrum so they could identify and
better support the disorder in their
own families. The book highlights
early signs for detection, coping strat-
egies, diagnosis and more.
An avid runner, Cohen wrote Six-
Word Lessons on the Sport of Running:
100 Lessons to Enjoy Running for a
Lifetime this July. Both are under
Pachelli Publishing’s “Six-Word
Lessons” series and can be found at

Canada Holocaust Memorial Omits
Mention of Jews, Anti-Semitism
Times of Israel
Canada’s government removed a
plaque at a new Holocaust memorial
that omitted any reference to Jews or
anti-Semitism.
The National Holocaust Memorial,
in the capital of Ottawa, was inau-
gurated last week by Prime Minister
Justin Trudeau.
A few days later, a lawmaker from
the opposition Conservative Party
criticized the “profoundly obvious
omission.”
“If we are going to stamp out hatred
toward Jews, it is important to get his-
tory right,” said MP David Sweet.
Following the plaque’s removal,
Heritage Minister Melanie Joly said
it would be replaced with a new one
“that reflects the horrors experienced
by the Jewish people.”
She also stressed that the memorial
“commemorates the 6 million Jews
as well as the 5 million other vic-
tims that were murdered during the
Holocaust.”
The original plaque memorial-
ized the “millions of men, women
and children murdered during the
Holocaust” and the “survivors who
persevered and were able to make
their way to Canada after one of the
darkest chapters in history.”
Although the plaque failed to men-

A Farmington Hills woman who has
fought her own largely unknown dis-
ability and is helping others along the
way has received a major award from
the Ted Lindsay Foundation.
The Ted Lindsay/

Individual Courage
Award was present-
ed to Tracey Cohen
of Farmington Hills
at a dinner held
recently by the Troy-
based foundation
Tracey Cohen
that supports autism
research and educa-
tional programs.
Until her disorder was diagnosed
at age 39, Cohen was uncertain why
she was “different” from others. As
a child, the daughter of George and
Joan Cohen excelled academically,
but social situations were challeng-
ing. She managed to graduate from
the University of Michigan in 1994
and began a career in early child-
hood education. In 2003, her desire
to help others led to her enrollment

tion the millions of Jews murdered
by the Nazis during the Holocaust,
Trudeau emphasized his commit-
ment to combating anti-Semitism
during the inauguration of the memo-
rial.
“Today we reaffirm our unshakeable
commitment to fight anti-Semitism,
racism, xenophobia and discrimina-
tion in all its forms, and we pay tribute
to those who experienced the worst of
humanity,” Trudeau was quoted by the
BBC as saying. “We can honor them by
fighting hatred with love and seeking
always to see ourselves in each other.”
Prior to the opening of the monu-
ment, Canada was the only country
from the Allies in World War II that
did not have a Holocaust memorial,
according to the National Post. •
