    Runnymede Perspectives (Re)thinking ‘Gangs’ Claire Alexander About Runnymede The Runnymede Trust is an independent policy research organization focusing on equality and justice through the promotion of a successful multi-ethnic society. Founded as a Charitable Educational Trust, Runnymede has a long track record in policy research, working in close collaboration with eminent thinkers and policymakers in the public, private and voluntary sectors. We believe that the way ahead lies in building effective partnerships, and we are continually developing these with the voluntary sector, the government, local authorities and companies in the UK and Europe. We stimulate debate and suggest forward-looking strategies in areas of public policy such as education, the criminal justice system, employment and citizenship. Since 1968, the date of Runnymede’s foundation, we have worked to establish and maintain a posi- tive image of what it means to live affirmatively within a society that is both multi-ethnic and cultur- ally diverse. Runnymede continues to speak with a thoughtful and independent public voice on these issues today.

  • Cohen, Roberta
    The Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training Foreign Affairs Oral History Project ROBERTA COHEN Interviewed by: Charles Stuart Kennedy Initial interview date: 26 September 2008 Copyright 2015 ADST Q: Today is 26 September 2008. This is an interview with Roberta Cohen. When and where were you born? COHEN: I was born in New York City on February 5, 1940. Q: Let’s start with the family. What do you know about the origins of the family? COHEN: Both sides of the family, all four grandparents, came from Russia -- from Kharkov in the Ukraine; Minsk in Belarus; and in or around Vilna, Lithuania, all part of Russia at that time. They immigrated to the States for different reasons. One grandfather deserted from the Czar’s army in 1904/5 because he didn’t want to fight in the Russo- Japanese War. The other came because of discrimination against Jews in Russia and opportunity in America. When one of my grandmothers died, she left $1000 to each granddaughter and I used mine to visit the Soviet Union in on a citizens exchange tour and found some family members who remained. Q: Where were they at that time? COHEN: In Kharkov, the Ukraine. Originally they came from Lithuania. All family members who remained in Lithuania perished during the Holocaust. The ones in Kharkov managed to escape by fleeing to Kyrgyz in central Asia. When the war ended, they returned to Kharkov and helped rebuild the city and that is where I found them so I know a bit more about my mother’s side of the family than my father’s in Belarus.
