Oskar Cohn

  • ... that Oskar Cohn regretted he wasn't able to spent all the money he received from the Russian ambassador to Germany to spread the idea of the revolution? Source: "Genosse Joffe hat mir das Geld in der Nacht vom 5. zum 6. November gegeben...Ich habe das Geld seinem Zwecke zugeführt, nämlich der Verbreitung des Gedankens der Revolution und bedaure nur, dass es mir die Umstände unmöglich gemacht haben, die ganze Summe schon aufzubrauchen." [1]
    • ALT1:... that Oskar Cohn regarded the execution of Charles Fryatt a severe infringement of international law and "inexcusable judicial murder"? Source: "Gegen diese Entscheidung veröffentlichten nunmehr die beiden Vertreter der Unabhängigen Sozialdemokraten in der Kommission, Eduard Bernstein und Dr. Oskar Cohn eine Erklärung, in der sie feststellen, daß sie entgegen dem Spruche der Kommission in dem Verfahren gegen den Kapitän Fryatt, in seiner Verurteilung und in seiner Erschießung eine schwere Verletzung des Völkerrechts sehen. Wie sie feststellen, haben sie aus der Untersuchung die Überzeugung gewonnen, daß an Kapitän Fryatt ein nicht zu entschuldigender Justizmord begangen worden sei." ([2])
    • ALT2:... that Oskar Cohn initiated protests against the deportation of Jews from Tel Aviv and Jaffa in the German parliament? Source: "In einer parlamentarischen Interpellation forderte Cohn am 14 Mai 1917 die Reichsregierung auf, sie solle auf die osmanische Regierung einwirken, um eine Wiederholung der Massaker, wie sie gegen die Armenier während des Krieges verübt worden waren, zu verhindern."

Interesting life on good sources, and I can read the German ones, no copyvio obvious. I like all hooks, but am afraid the original leaves (too?) open which revolution, and takes long reading. ALT1 is the most dramatic, and ALT2 the most easily accessible. Thank you for the article, - amazing that we didn't have it yet. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:05, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
I couldn't decide which hook is the most interesting, feel free to choose one. HerkusMonte (talk) 09:52, 14 December 2019 (UTC)
Nice offer, - I chose two, and the prep builder can make the other choice depending on what will surround this. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:16, 14 December 2019 (UTC)
