[19]  CORRESPONDENCE: Sverdlove, Freda (Freddy) Unger, Personal Correspondence, 16-Jun-1992 , Dear Mr. Sverdlove:

 

   During last winter, while residing in West Palm Beach, Fla, I had the good fortune to meet and work with Mrs. Zela Reinblatt.

 

   When Zela heard my name, she immediately, thought that our family must be part of the family tree that you have developed.

 

   My husband is Harry Sverdlove and his father was Zelig Sverdlove. Leon Sverdlove is Harry's brother and my sister-in-law is Lilly Sverdlove.

 

   My husband, Harry and his family came to the United States from Montreal, but we do not know any of the Sverdloves from Montreal.

 

   We are interested in knowing more about the family tree.

 

   We would appreciate hearing from you.

 

                        Sincerely,

                               Mrs. Freddy Sverdlove, letter to Andrew I. Sverdlove in his possession.

5/12/2004

This feature article appeared on Newsday.com on May 12, 2004.

 

VINTAGE VOLUNTEER

 

Throughout his long, left-leaning life, Leon Sverdlove has been guided by one idealistic principle _ "the idea that by helping our fellow man, we can have a better world."

 

The age of 93 is no time to give it up, he says.

 

"I'm never going to abandon the idea," Sverdlove said in an interview before serving lunch to the homeless at the Yorktown Country Residence, a shelter in northern Westchester County. After spending a couple of hours there, he drove to the Hudson Valley Hospital Center in Cortlandt, where he checks on former patients by phone.

 

It's his regular Monday-to-Friday routine, nearly 20 hours a week. Andrew Martin, a spokesman for the Volunteers of America, says Sverdlove is probably the oldest volunteer in the state doing that much work.

 

"You know how it is these days," Sverdlove jokes. "You need two jobs to get by."

 

At the lunch, Sverdlove dons a white apron and clear plastic gloves and dishes out hot dogs, sauerkraut, tangerines, fruit juice and the occasional wisecrack to the clients, some of them addicts or mentally troubled.

 

One woman flirts with him, saying, "Aren't you my sweetheart?"

 

"Definitely," he says.

 

Andrea Jarrett, the program director, said, "Leon is wonderful. He's so respectful of the clients. When he tells us he's going on vacation, we say, "What are we going to do without you?"

 

Suzanne Scott, director of volunteers at the hospital, says Sverdlove calls 800 former patients a month for "satisfaction surveys" and gets fan letters from patients he's contacted.

 

"We're like his second family and to us he's like our grandfather," she says.

 

Sverdlove looks and acts about 70 years old. Besides driving, he does his own shopping and cooking. He has his own rooms in a house in Yorktown Heights he shares with his daughter's family of four.

 

He says his diet in unremarkable, except that his favorite dish is filet mignon and "I'm overeating it, never mind the price." He generally has a bagel with cream cheese for breakfast, a sandwich for lunch, and meat or fish for dinner.

 

Sverdlove, born in Philadelphia in 1910 to Russian immigrants and raised in Montreal, Los Angeles and Manhattan's Lower East Side, said he and his younger brother and sister were orphaned as teens and relied on other relatives as hard times descended. Sverdlove left school after ninth grade.

 

"The Depression made me a socialist," Sverdlove says. "I became socially conscious."

 

He remembers "when we didn't have anyplace to go, when we didn't have enough to eat." When he talks to schoolchildren about his experiences, "They always ask me, `Why didn't you go on welfare?' and I have to tell them there was no welfare then. We had to go to the police station for some bread or rice."

 

When he was 15 or 16, Sverdlove became an apprentice stone setter in the jewelry district, then centered on Fulton Street in Lower Manhattan. He quickly began militating for a union _ "it cost me a job now and then," he says _ and helped found the International Jewelry Workers Union, which won its first contract in 1936.

 

From 1941 on, he was employed by the union and eventually became international president, the position he held when the union was merged with the Service Employees International Union. He then served on the SEIU's executive board.

 

Meanwhile, he got married in 1936 and served during World War II in the Army Air Force, repairing the gun turrets on B-26 bombers in England and France, he said.

 

"Sometimes they came back (from bombing missions) pretty shot up," he said. "The worst was when they didn't come back at all."

 

He was older than most of the airmen _ 34 when the war ended _ but even then didn't look his age, he said. In his time with the jewelers, he said, he heard a lot of, "We can't have a kid running the union."

 

Sverdlove admits to a youthful flirtation with radicals _ the dance at which he met his wife-to-be "was organized by some left-wing group, maybe the Communists." He lost faith in the Soviet Union in the 1950s but holds fast to many of the tenets of socialism.

 

"I marched in every demonstration," he said. "I was always interested in making things better for the poor. The right to organize, civil rights. I think being interested in people, in how people are doing, helped me live this long. I want to see how things turn out."

 

He speaks with pride of some landmark gatherings _ he went to the Paul Robeson concert-turned-riot in Peekskill in 1949 and heard Martin Luther King in Washington in 1963, he said.

 

"I bought 500 Paul Robeson stamps when they came out," he says. "Everybody I write to gets a Paul Robeson stamp."

 

He demanded to see his FBI file and received "about 35 or 40 pages, two-thirds of it blacked out," he says. "What I could read was mostly innocuous, `Sverdlove opposed the Rosenberg executions' or `Sverdlove signed this petition.' They didn't really have anything on me."

 

He does not try to hide his dismay over the war in Iraq.

 

"This was a pre-emptive kind of war," he said. "That's not what we should be doing. I was opposed from Day One. Vietnam, too."

 

Sverdlove travels widely, and expects to attend the SEIU convention in San Francisco next month. He takes cruises with his daughter's family and recently surprised his 92-year-old brother with a visit to his Florida home.

 

"He doesn't get around as well as I do," Sverdlove says. His sister is also still alive, at 88.

 

After he retired in 1980, Sverdlove remained available to the union for such troubleshooting chores as becoming trustee of a troubled upstate local, he said. But it wasn't enough. His wife, Sema, died in 1982, and "I realized it wasn't enough just doing chores, taking care of the trees and the flowers. You can read The New York Times every day, but then what do you do?"

 

Six years ago, he pounced on an ad for the Volunteers of America and has been happily engaged ever since in what he finds to be a logical extension of his career.

 

"All those years in the union, I fought for things like Social Security, pensions, all the things people needed. Now I'm helping to feed the hungry and help the sick.", Google search for SVERDLOVE on 9-Feb-2005.

Dear Andy;

 

Laurie's uncle Leon was born in 1910 in Philadelphia and ended up being head of the jewelery union in New York. He is still alive and does volunteer work at 93. I asked her to send me her father's name. Apparently her Uncle Leon's son is whom Myra accessed but they are estranged because of the wife.The old

man has never met his grandson who is a musician at the U. of Penn. He has a website.

 

Love,

Andrew,

 

Thank you for sending me the genealogy.  It is fascinating. 

 

However, I have a few corrections to make. I was born in Manhattan and lived at 166 Second Avenue, Manhattan.  When I was 7 (after my sister was born) we moved to Sunnyside, Queens (39-49 44th St.).  I graduated from Queens College (CUNY) in 1970 and received my MA degree from Queens College in 1972.   I have a Ph.D. in Geology and Oceanography from the University of Cincinnati, 1983.  I have worked at the Revlon Research Center (in Edison NJ) and for the past 17 years have been employed by Schering-Plough (pharmaceuticals), in Kenilworth NJ, as an Information Technology analyst.  My specialty is creating global Standard Operating Procedures for the Global Information Technology department.

 

My wife Louise was born Oct 7, 1947 in Manhattan NY.  We were married on June 20, 1976 at the Manhattan Beach Jewish Center in Brooklyn, NY.  She is a lifetime member of the Arts Students League in Manhattan where she studied anatomy and life drawing with Robert Beverly Hale and oil painting with Robert Brachman.

 

My son Max never attended Julliard.  However he studied with Lewis Kaplan, one of the main violin teachers at Julliard.  Mr. Kaplan was the co-founder of the Bowdoin International Music Festival, which is going into its 26th year.  Max has attended the festival almost each summer since the age of 13. Max is currently 20 and will be graduating PSU this May.  For more information visit Sverdlove.com

 

[Leon] has met his grandson (Max) and was present at his Bris where he was given the honor of being his Shaliach.

I had a wonderful day interviewing your uncle Leon last Friday.  We spend seven hours together.  I have not listened to the hours of .wav files I made but have corrected and updated your Zayde’s family tree to include all five children, all their grandchildren and most of the great-grand-children.

 

I scanned photos of Leon, Sema, their children, his daughters children, your parents when you were an infant, etc.

 

I would like to be more complete with your family.

 

I don’t have your husbands’ name; both your birthdates; your children.  I have Seth but not his brother.

I don't know much about my Uncle Harry Sverdlove's family.  I am related to him by  marriage.  My grandfather was Charles Uger. One of his sisters, Freda (my aunt), married Harry Sverdlove. They live in Florida now and are in their late 80s.  They lived in New York most of their life together and were excellent dancers - - they danced (as a hobby) all over the world.  Laurie Goldman is their daughter. I think I have heard that Harry's ancestors came from the Siberia area of Russia.

 

If you have any specific questions, I could try to ask Harry for you.
