Isidore Wisotsky (1895-1970) was born circa 1895 and immigrated from Latvia to the U.S. with his family when he was fourteen. He worked in the garment industry, became an anarchist, was involved with the Industrial Workers of the World, and became a friend of Norman Thomas. The collection contains a typescript of Isidor Wisotsky's autobiography, "Such a Life," in which he recounts his experiences as a Russian Jewish immigrant working in New York City's Lower East Side in the early twentieth century, his anarchist and Industrial Workers of the World activities, and his personal recollections of radical leaders. An introduction by Norman Thomas is included.
