ROZ KOHEN DROHOBYCZER

Country: United States of America

Profession: Librarian



I was born in Istanbul in 1949. I spent my childhood in the Jewish neighborhoods of Istanbul: Sishane, Kuledibi. I am the product of both my ethnic background (Sephardic Jew) and and my homeland Turkey. I graduated from American College for Girls in Istanbul 1969 and later spent 6 years in Israel, partly going to the Art academy in in Jerusalem. On my return to Istanbul after 1975 I worked at various technical drafting jobs and immigrated to the United States in 1981.

Since then I have lived in New Mexico, Ohio, Tennessee and Missouri. Currently I work as a Reference Assistant at the Washington University in St. Louis and I am in the process of completing a graduate degree in Library Science. My hobbies are painting, Turkish Cooking, helping the Turkish student community organize activities, and recently writing short stories In Judeo-Spanish about my childhood memories.
