workingclasshistory:

On this day, 7 January 1994, Leah Feldman, a true working class hero, was cremated in London. Born around 1899 in Warsaw, Poland, Leah devoted her life to the self-emancipation of the working class. She moved to London where she worked in clothing sweatshops in the East End, and became active in the Yiddish-speaking anarchist movement. With the outbreak of revolution in Russia she travelled there, then moved south and joined the Revolutionary Insurrectionary Army of the Ukraine led by Nestor Makhno, preparing clothes and food for war orphans. Later in life Feldman organised anarchist groups in Palestine, raised money for the anti-Nazi resistance in Germany, and supported anti-fascists in Spain during the civil war. Feldman began going blind, but remained active, and in the 1960s smuggled weapons to anarchists in Spain who were continuing underground resistance to the right-wing regime of Francisco Franco. She remained as active as her health allowed until the end, after at least eight decades of revolutionary activism.
