The Yiddishers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Yiddishers were a London street gang based in Whitechapel, one of whose members was future mobster Jack Spot, during the inter-war years. During the 1930s, they opposed the growing fascist movement in Great Britain and organized an attack on members of the British Union of Fascists led by Sir Oswald Mosley, later known as the Battle of Cable Street on October 4, 1936. ^[1]
