The Radical Jewish East End at Whitechapel Gallery

Soon after you begin your Radical Jewish East End tour you will encounter a number of important landmarks, such as Angel Alley, where the Jewish anarchist tradition lives on and Gardiners Corner where East Enders blocked the path to Mosley’s fascists. During the tour you will find out how and why so many Jews came to the East End from the Russian Empire and how they coped with the challenges of their new circumstances - in the workplace, in housing, and in education. You will find out about some special individuals such as Rudolf Rocker, Morris Mindel and Hannah Billig.
