My personal journey through the Jewish East End of London
Stepney
Workers Sports Club, circa 1936
Dear Philip
You might be interested in
the attached photo. It's a picture of some members of the Stepney
Workers Sports Club which to all intents and purposes was a Jewish
left-wing club. Many of the members were in the Young Communist
League. On the far left standing just beneath the banner is Woolf
Miller and kneeling in front of him just about recognisable is my
dad Jack Shaw (nee Shuckman). This must have been taken sometime in
1936 when fascism was rampant in Germany and Italy hence the
slogans. Perhaps someone might recognise the other members in
the picture.
Regards
Freddy
