Emma Goldman: Anarchist Movement

Pack Rat Dept: The mass of correspondence not only provides a genealogical gold mine for Rose, but also an invaluable glimpse into Jewish history and the anarchist movement in the early 20th century, she said, according to The Star. The correspondence belonged to her great-great-uncle Leon Malmed, a pack rat who kept every letter he ever received. Malmed was involved in Emma Goldman s anarchist movement in the first quarter of the 20th century. He was also Goldman s lover and in her quest to find her roots, North York resident Debbie Rose found a trove of hundred-year-old Yiddish letters that hold secrets of some radical Jewish anarchists and open the window to a world long gone. Even in the tenth I ve had translated so far, the information is phenomenal, Rose said. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
