Comments on: Remembering The 43 Group https://spitalfieldslife.com/2020/05/26/remembering-the-43-group/ 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, 28 May 2020 22:37:11 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Barbara Stevens https://spitalfieldslife.com/2020/05/26/remembering-the-43-group/#comment-1340258 Thu, 28 May 2020 22:37:11 +0000 https://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=181521#comment-1340258 My late husband Harry Steinberg from Stamford Hill was a member but even after M.Beckman 1992 book came out he didn’t like to elaborate very much. I think he said “we could still get locked up”… Thank goodness for that book at least and together with your wonderful photos I am so pleased the 43 Group’s name and deeds will never fade away. Just wish more individual stories had been collected when they were all alive, though they did have a reunion once. Is it possible to get a list of the names of the entire 43 members?

Each generation has to fight the threat of fascism. Wonderful portraits of inspirational fighters.

I wish his family Long Life.

There are so many insights and mind pops, throughout these paragraphs — and then the addition of the remarkable faces.

Strength and fortitude.
Thank you for always shining a light, GA.
Stay safe, all.

Is this the case for UK and USA today, to highlight two former world-leading nations?

We live in such dangerous times but it is good to know that there will always be people who will stand up and fight against oppression and right wing regimes, it gives one hope is such sad times as those we are living in today. Thank you GA.
