A-Infos (en) Anarkismo.net: Chaim Weinberg's 1930 Jewish Anarchist Memoirs Are Now Online

Wooden Shoe Books and the Dead Anarchists website are proud to announce the 
online release of Chaim Leib Weinberg’s Forty Years in the Struggle: The 
Memoirs of a Jewish Anarchist, which are translated by Naomi Cohen and edited 
by Robert P. Helms. We present this book for the first time in English, and in 
the only form that is now available to a general readership.
Recorded from oral testimony in 1930 and published in Yiddish in 1952, these 
are the recollections of an old fighter, spoken from memory. They are folkloric 
rather than scholarly, humorous, and entirely about common workers’ defense of 
their own humanity. Weinberg was an anarchist-communist who devoted half a 
century to union movements, the establishment of collective stores and 
communities, and the fight against organized religion. His main role was as a 
gifted orator –one who turned union drives back against the boss on many 
occasions, always to Jewish immigrant workers, in the Yiddish language.

The memoirs of Chaim Weinberg offer a deep well of testimony that exists in no 
other place, and which flows in a soulful, humorous way.

We invite the reader to discover the mind of our ancient comrade, Chaim Weinberg.

On behalf of Wooden Shoe Books and the Dead Anarchists Website, I wish you 
well, and we hope that you will enjoy the heart and soul of Chaim Leib Weinberg.

Robert Helms
