Step back in time to 1933–1942, when Jewish Romanian couple Herman and Rosa Marcus transformed 847 Fillmore from a beer baron’s mansion into a vibrant Yiddish social hall. In this episode, we dive into the Glimpses of the Fillmore District’s Jewish Past YouTube transcript, uncovering the arrival of Eastern European Jews to San Francisco’s Fillmore neighborhood, their daily lives, and the tensions they faced from the established German Jewish community.
Plus, we spotlight the gripping tale of hero dog Flash and the near-tragic incident involving the Marcus daughters in January 1941. This deep dive brings to life the resilience and culture of the Fillmore’s Jewish Quarter.
🎧 Tune in for a rich historical journey filled with drama, heritage, and untold stories from San Francisco’s past.
