Elsie and her brother Mikey grew up in the vermin-infested slum of Stepney, which was known as "Paradise." Life was difficult for them on the streets, but the rise of antisemitic fascism in the 1930s brought turmoil to the families that had lived closely together for years. Elsie witnessed the breakdown of friendships and the emergence of hatred.
One day, Elsie and Mikey attended a rally held by Oswald Mosley, the leader of the Blackshirts. They intended to heckle and cause trouble, but they soon realized the dangerous situation they were in. The fascists were met with resistance from the people, who stood up against them and against hatred. This event became known as the Battle of Cable Street.
The Battle of Cable Street was a significant moment in the history of anti-fascism. It showed that people would not stand by and allow hatred and fascism to spread. The bravery of those who fought against the fascists was a testament to the strength of community and resistance.
Elsie and Mikey's experience at the rally was a turning point for them. They realized the importance of standing up against injustice and fighting for what is right. They continued to be active in the anti-fascist movement and worked to promote equality and social justice in their community.
Tanya Landman's story is a powerful reminder of the dangers of fascism and the importance of standing up against it. It is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of community.
