Biography
Doretta Tarmon was a Brooklyn mother of two arrested during the May 1933 campaign by unemployed workers for relief and against evictions. The Daily Worker of May 13, 1933, page 1, identifies her at 974 46th Street and reports a court appearance scheduled for May 17 at 9 a.m. at Central Court. Its account describes arrests and police attacks on relief delegations in Brooklyn, but does not give her individual formal charge, exact arrest day, sentence or eventual release.
