The Politics of Shoes
Here's a recent Project Elements Easthampton finding:
Found 1946, Daily Hampshire Gazette: a story about an Easthampton woman who was hired as a NYC nursemaid and invited to Germany for vacation in 1938. During her visit she was apprehended by the Nazis and sent to a labor camp where she worked 36 months for 14 hour days. After fleeing the camp with the help of the Polish underground, she returned to Easthampton where she worked for the United Elastics factory.
