Then he moved to the town of Dachau near Munich where he was a pai nter, a part of the "Dachau School" and was a pupil of Adolf Holzel.

This lexicon gives Adam Cohn's date of birth as December 12, 1857. Another source gives his date of birth as January 15, 1861. Despite the discrepencies in the dates, it is likely to be the same Adam Cohn who was the son of Chaim and Rozalia Coh n.
