Alice Cohn (1914–2000) was a German-Jewish graphic artist who forged Dutch identity cards (persoonsbewijs) for Jews and the Dutch resistance during World War II. In her work for the Dutch resistance after she fled to Netherlands in 1936, she proved that Jacob Lentz's supposedly perfect identity card could be forged. Working in secret, she used blank documents, exchanged photographs, and altered details, saving the lives of hundreds of people.
