87 years ago today the Battle of De Winton Field took place Tonypandy, Wales when 6000 anti-fascists turned up to confront a rally by the Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists (BUF), running them out of town within thirty minutes of the rally's commencement. Thirty-seven anti-fascists were charged with offenses, with several serving six-month prison sentences. Four of the charged traveled to Spain to fight in the International Brigades against Franco in the Spanish Civil War.

"“We swore not even one Welsh sheep would hear the Mosley message. People in the Rhondda put their bodies on the line to oppose hatred and racism. I want to see this history taught more widely.” - Annie Powell, former mayor of Penygraig.

"The record of the successive hosts of foreigners who came amongst us and, finding Ireland a green and pleasant land, chose to abide there...let no Irishman throw a stone at the foreigner; he may hit his own clansman."
-James Connolly, 1908

(via working class history): On this day, 28 November 1919, Faye Schulman, photographer and Jewish resistance partisan, was born in Lenin, Poland (now Belarus). In 1942, the Nazis murdered 1,850 Jews in the Lenin ghetto, leaving only Faye and 25 others alive, making Faye take and develop photos of the massacre. Covertly she made copies of the photographs for herself. She soon fled and joined the partisan resistance, serving as a fighter and nurse. While on a raid in Lenin with her unit, Faye managed to retrieve her camera equipment, and then began documenting the resistance movement, developing her photos under blankets. "I want people to know that there was resistance. Jews did not go like sheep to the slaughter. I was a photographer. I have pictures. I have proof." Faye survived the war and moved to Canada, where she lived until her death on April 24, 2021.
