From the Triangle to Rana Plaza the price of garments workers' lives are cheaper than the clothes they make
This is wonderful. I just played it for my Yiddish Club, as we did last Labor Day. It is so moving. Small correction: The death toll was 123 women and girls and 23 men. The way the newspaper headline was arranged, at first glance it appeared that all 146 dead were girls. Not the case. Best wished to everyone involved with DWYT.
the best version of bread and roses I have ever heard, even though I do not speak Yiddish.
Brings me tear, but how many of our kids now anything about this. Do they know what the word Halutz is ? No.
But they will know who won the pennent in 1901
yes awesome!
so sad, and such a beautiful memorial. my father's mother worked in the garment district.
Beautiful I love it, and I love that I can understand most of the text without knowing the Language
I know English and German and listening to Yiddish it sounds similar to Pennsylvania Dutch to me
I wonder if I could hold a conversation with someone speaking one of those languages, like Swedes and Danes being able to talk using their respective languages
This is so stunningly sad and beautiful -- and inspiring.
Bravissimo!
UNBELIEVABLY BEAUTIFUL. THANK YOU
That is just beautiful.
As someone else said, a fitting, and beautiful memorial
WOW!!!! 👌🏾🌟💪🏽👊❤
