The Siege of Sidney Street: The East End of London’s Most Sensational Shootout

Hosted By: Yiddish Book Center (Amherst, MA)

On January 3, 1911, two Latvian anarchists, wanted for a police murder, were tracked to a room on Sidney Street in London’s predominantly Jewish East End. For six hours, they held off police and army sharpshooters, with Winston Churchill, then Britain’s interior minister, observing from the scene. In this illustrated talk hosted by the Yiddish Book Center, historian Andrew Whitehead will explore the siege of Sidney Street and its implications for London’s Jewish East End and the Yiddish-speaking anarchist movement.
