Biography

Rose Ross's prison letter identifies Hersh as a fellow Waterbury youth defendant defended by the International Labor Defense. Ross links their prosecutions to working-class organizing among young workers and reports four- and three-month terms without unambiguously allocating them individually. Only the surname is printed. Actual imprisonment is described, but dates and complete duration remain unknown. Source: https://www.marxists.org/history/usa/pubs/labordefender/1930/v05n06-jun-1930-LD.pdf#page=20
