Baron Cruse-Cohen, of Plymouth in the County of Devon, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created in 1945 for the French Jewish financier and businessman, Sir David Cohen. Cohen, a member of the esteemed Cruse family from France and the Cohen Banking Family of Monaco, relocated to London in 1927 following a divorce from his wife. He remarried Evelyn Mocatta of the Anglo-Jewish Mocatta family. From this marriage, he had one son, Philippe, and one daughter, Erna. His eldest son (from his former marriage), the second Baron, Jean Alexandre Cohen, moved to the United States after abandoning the family's estate in Bordeaux, France in 1940 due to the Nazi invasion.
The title is currently held by the latter's half-brother, the third Baron, Philippe Cohen, who succeeded in 2001 when the latter's eldest son rejected the title. Philippe Cohen was formerly married to the daughter of famed British philanthropist Basil Henriques. He currently resides in Kingston, Jamaica, where he works in imports, real estate, commerce, and banking.
