WE'RE FIGHTING FOR YOUR LIFE THE JEWISH NEWS famous Yiddish language newspaper that was so vital to the lives of immigrants. The building now houses a Chinese organization — many Chinese now live in the area — but just below the clock, we see the gold letters that spell out Forward in Yiddish. Looking at the building, Mr. Snyder recalls the time he was leading the tour and a woman in the group revealed that her father was once the elevator operator for the Jew- ish Daily Forward. Another time, he was surprised to discover that one member of the tour group was the grand- son of Belle Baker, famous female vaudeville star. Still on East Broadway, Mr. Snyder points out buildings where immigrants once work- ed — and often where budding entertainers got practice. "Some would be cut-ups dur- ing lunch hour," says Mr. Snyder. "They would enter- tain and practice their skills." Still another way talent was cultivated was through amateur nights in the neighborhood. Mr. Snyder points out that Belle Baker worked in a garment factory by day and sang in amateur night programs throughout the neighborhood. There was still another way the vaudevillians practiced. He points out #35 East Broad- way, the Nice Restaurant, noting that it's not only a restaurant but a hall used for special events for the Chinese who now live in the area. "And 100 years ago, there were counterparts to this in the Jewish community," he says. "Eddie Cantor and others appeared in wedding halls like this, and that's where they practiced their skills." By the end of the tour, we've not only gotten many glimp- ses of the old neighborhood of the vaudevillians, but we've also gained an awareness of the way their environment was related to their careers. Mr. Snyder does not roman- ticize the world of tenements, but he also emphasizes that growing up in this world gave young entertainers an added impetus to succeed. "The Lower East Side wasn't a romantic neighbor- hood," says Mr. Snyder." It was crowded; the living con- ditions were unhealthy, and people worked hard for long hours and low wages. But the people who grew up here had an energy and drive. Vaudeville offered them a way out. It was a beacon, a magnet, a possibility." ❑ American Heart e‘ Association citizenship was revoked for lying about his wartime past has left the country after agreeing not to contest Justice Department charges against him. Jozsef Szendi, an admitted Hungarian Nazi col- laborator, had his citizen- ship revoked in U.S. District Court in Cookeville, Tenn. Mr. Szendi left the United States sometime before the hearing. Mr. Szendi admitted that he was subject to denaturalization in a set- tlement agreement with the Justice Department. He ad- mitted that he served in a special detachment of the Royal Hungarian Gen- darmerie alongside the Na- tional Organization of Ac- countability, both pro-Nazi groups. Justice Department offi- cials could not comment on Mr. Szendi's destination. There was no request for his extradition, but there is a warrant for his arrest in Hungary, said a Justice Department source. The source said the Hungarian warrant specifically relates to a book Mr. Szendi wrote, published in Budapest in 1991, in which he described his war- time activities with the Royal Hungarian Gen- darmerie, a paramilitary organization which im- prisoned and deported Jews; and the National Organiza- tion of Accountability, the security and intelligence operation of the Nazi-allied Arrow Cross. The Justice Department alleged that the National Organization of Accoun- tability was responsible for the assault, torture and kill- ing of public officials, diplo- mats, political figures and unarmed Jewish civilians.
