Biography

Anna Gerlach was arrested at work on May 6, 1929 after attending the Bethlehem Communist May Day celebration. The newspaper reports a sedition accusation and five-thousand-dollar bail. It does not report the bail posted, an actual discharge or her complete detention. No evidence identifies her with Anna Burlak.
