A prominent rabbi and Holocaust survivor from Staten Island, A. Romi Cohn, has died after contracting the coronavirus. He was 92.

“He was the epitome of a human being, deprived of a childhood as a teenager, who found himself wanted by Hitler because he was Jewish,” Mendy Mirocznik, president of the Council of Jewish Organizations of Staten Island, said in a statement.

“He never allowed the bitter experience of the Holocaust make him bitter. To the contrary he had positive energy in him.”

The death of Cohn, who also performed thousands of circumcisions in the Jewish community as a mohel, was first reported Tuesday by The Yeshiva World.

Cohn, who was born in Czechoslovakia, fought against the Nazis in World War II as a member of the Jewish partisans, the outlet reported.

He helped 56 families escape Nazi tyranny, according to Staten Island Rep. Max Rose, who invited Cohn to deliver the opening prayer on the House floor two months ago on the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.

“Our community has suffered a tragic loss from COVID-19 with the passing of Rabbi Romi Cohn,” Rose tweeted on Tuesday.

“Was truly an honor to host him, his family and loved ones in DC just a few months ago. Keeping them all in my prayers,” the Democrat wrote.

Another city Jewish leader diagnosed with the coronavirus, Rabbi Yaakov Meltzer of Queens, also died, The Yeshiva World reported Tuesday. His death, however, was attributed to an existing heart condition, the report said.

Meltzer, who was 60, was a 35-year member of Queens Hatzolah, a volunteer emergency medical service that serves Orthodox Jewish neighborhoods across the city.
