he Triangle Shirtwaist
Company Fire of 1911
remains part of the collective
memory of America and also
the international labor movement.
Trapped inside a sweatshop in New
York City, 141 young Jewish or Italian
immigrants — at least 125 of them girls
— either burned to death or were killed
by jumping to the pavement below.
On May 18, Sunday school students
from Workmen's Circle-Arbeter Ring —
The Circle of Jewish Culture — drama-
tized the tragedy in their moving per-
formance of Fragments From the Fire.
Director Frannie Goldstein wrote the
one-act adaptation for the children from
a work by labor poet Chris Llewellyn.
The cast members were Carly
D'Agostino of Southfield, Emma Fialka-
Feldman of Huntington Woods, Sara
Glassberg of Huntington Woods,
Nicholas Hurwitz-Goodman of Detroit,
Saralee Gordon of Pleasant Ridge,
Hannah Heavenrich of Huntington
Woods, Ali Hodges of Huntington
Woods, Justin Pollack of Huntington
Woods and Julie Tschirhart of Oak Park.
With their portrayals, Goldstein told
the actors, "You are honoring a real per-
son and giving voice to each life."
Emma Fialka-Feldman, a seventh-
grader at Norup Middle School in Oak
Park, played a New York Times reporter.

T

She said the play "was a good way to
teach other kids about what happened.
It helped to be a person in it, to experi-
),
ence the character.
The evening at Workmen's Circle also
included a Havdalah ceremony, potluck
meal and humorous improvisations by
Sunday school students Morrie Fabbri of
Southfield, Tara Fugate of Huntington
Woods, Emily Glassberg of Huntington
Woods, Benjamin Granzotto of Pleasant
Ridge, Daniel Hurwitz-Goodman of
Detroit, Rachel Moses of Royal Oak and
Jenny Pollack of Huntington Woods.
Fragments From the Fire "really con-
nects our Jewishness to social justice,"
said Michigan District Director Ellen
Bates-Brackett, noting one of
Workmen's Circle goals. 'As an educator,
I truly appreciate the value of learning
about Jewish history through such won-
derful experiences."

Workmen's Circle is a 100-year-
old secular Jewish organization
that offers a Sunday school with
Yiddish and Hebrew instruction,
holiday gatherings, adult discus-
sion and study groups, a teen
group and community potlucks.
Starting soon is Kinderblumen, a
multigenerational mini-program
for preschoolers and their parents
or grandparents. For information,
