Print thisI spent a portion of today memorializing a few of the 146 victims – many of them young, Italian and Jewish immigrant women – of the 1911 Triangle Factory Fire. I chalked their names and ages in front of their homes.
Annie Colletti, 30 years old, 410 East 13th Street
Annina (Pasqualicchio) Ardito, 25 years old, 509 East 13th Street
Annie L’Abbate, 16 years old, 509 East 13th Street
Antonietta Pasqualicchio, 16 years old, 509 East 13th Street
At one point, two fire trucks raced down Avenue A as Henryk Górecki’s “Symphony of Sorrowful Songs" played on my headphones.
