“International Workers’ Day (also known as May Day) is a celebration of the international labour movement. May 1 is a national holiday in more than 80 countries and celebrated unofficially in many other countries.” (Wikipedia)
In collecting information from the various archives we search for appropriate material for our databases. We look for data that will reflect on life in this corner of the world. We hope that by highlighting various professions and those active in the Histadrut many will learn (or verify) something about their relatives and add to your family narrative.
