Comments on: Sophie Spielman, Shorthand Typist https://spitalfieldslife.com/2018/08/26/sophie-spielman-shorthand-typist-x/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Thu, 11 Feb 2021 07:24:34 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Anders Bellis https://spitalfieldslife.com/2018/08/26/sophie-spielman-shorthand-typist-x/#comment-1367798 Thu, 11 Feb 2021 07:24:34 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=168357#comment-1367798 What a brilliant lady, and what a fascinating life story!

Googling to try and find out what has happened to Treves House, the first link I was presented with was the Spitalfields Life link to the blog post about it being saved! This made my morning and my day, because not only is it horrendous to keep tearing down historically interesting blocks of flats, it would – morally speaking – have been a crime to evict Mrs. Sophie Spielman from her beloved home of such a long time.

I remember Treves House from visits back home. What is the latest news on the redevelopment?

I don’t know the building but I’m always fascinated by the Jewish diaspora and how much good they spread around the places to which they have moved. Sadly, there are hardly any Jews living in Iran these days because of the deep and invidious anti-semitism in that part of the world.
