My mother was born in NYC in 1901. and lived in eastside mid manhattan. She has told me about a Jewish woman lawyer? who was a socialist or at any rate on the political left that used to give speeches from the back of a truck, then lead the crowd into the song: Azoy, azoy, a schicker is a goy." She is supposed to have had only one arm, the other one lost when she fell from a window and caught it on a garbage can. Can anyone tell me her name? I am writing a family biography and would like to know. This would have been anytime from say 1908 to 1918. Thank You, Lawrence Kallus fiddler law@gmail.com.
