Biography

The Daily Worker of March 27, 1935, page 2, names Anfree Sapiro among eight University of California students arrested and fingerprinted in Berkeley for distributing handbills for an antiwar meeting and the April 12 student strike against war. It describes her as nineteen, from New York, and the daughter of attorney Aaron Sapiro. Anfree is the spelling printed in the source; the first name may contain a printing error and is not silently expanded or corrected. The article cites a city ordinance against leaflet distribution but gives no individual formal charge, conviction, sentence or eventual release. The March 26 dispatch establishes that the arrest had occurred by that date, not that it took place on that exact day.
