note: Harriet Cohen was a famous Jewish British pianist, one of the most talked-about and photographed musicians of her day. Cohen's influence went well beyond that of a musician. She became strongly associated in the 1930s with publicizing the plight of German and Austrian Jews and even played a concert with the scientist Albert Einstein in 1934 to raise funds to bring Jewish scientists out of Germany. She became a supporter of the Zionist cause, visited Israel in 1939 and gave concerts around the country. She was a close friend with Chaim Weizmann, who later became the first president of the state of Israel -- Wikipedia
