Rose Schneiderman was my great-aunt, whom I knew very well, as my great-aunt, not as the great feminist and labor leader that she was. (She was my paternal grandfather's (Harry Schneiderman, editor of American Jewish Yearbook) sister, and I did know about her role in general, in the labor movement, from my mother, Rose's niece.

I can't imagine a documentary on the Triangle Fire omitting my Aunt's galvanizing speech.

I'm not sure from your piece, if Rose Scheiderman was omitted from the documentary.

Of course I will be watching it, in any case.
