For example, in Seattle, where he now lives, he helped to form a kind of grassroots sistering affiliation with Nuevo Amanecer, Guatemala—a town repopulated by refugees from that country’s civil war, which shared much in common with the Salvadoran conflict.

List of Public Presentations by the "Gonzalez" family in Madison, Wisconsin, 1984-1985
Sanctuary movement
Refugees
This is a partial list of the presentations that "Rogelio Gonzalez" and his wife, "Maria Gonzalez" gave in Madison from Feb 1984-July 1985. Theirs was a public rather than secret sanctuary. This meant that they were willing and eager to tell their horrific story in order to educate people in Madison about the death squads, terrorism and violence in their country and the US government's role in it. All these presentations helped create the understanding and enthusiasm for the City of Madison officially naming Arcatao, El Salvador its first sister city in 1986. Bob Skloot had kept this list in his papers from that time.

Madison Common Council
Copy of the official Madison Common Council resolution, #42,209, naming Arcatao Madison's first sister city. The resolution was authored by Rosa Escamilla, our first Latinx council member and was passed on April 1, 1986. The “Whereas” section makes for powerful reading as Madison calls out the US government for being "intimately involved in the conflict in El Salvador." Along with Billy Feitlinger, then council president, future mayor of Madison, Sue Bauman is one of the supporting alders. Bauman was Mayor of Madison from 1997-2003 and the first woman to hold that office. Mayor Bauman visited Arcatao in 1998.

Cobblers
Deaf people

Jewish neighborhoods
Harvey Barash and his family lived and worked in and around the Greenbush neighborhood from 1939-1951. He was born at Madison General Hospital (now Meriter Hospital) in 1939. Interestingly, after receiving his medical degree from Albert Einstein Medical School in New York City in 1965 and completing his residency in Orthopedic Surgery at Rush Presbyterian-St. Luke’s and Illinois R&E Hospitals in 1970, and then spending two years as a major in the US Army, Harvey returned to Madison in 1972 to practice and teach at the same hospital where he was born. Notably, Harvey’s father owned and operated Abe's Shoe Repair, a renowned neighborhood business at 1107 ½ Regent (near the corner of Regent and S. Mills Streets). Harvey helped his father, who was deaf, interact with customers at the shoe shop, and assisted with managing the family's rental properties. In addition to sharing stories of his father’s business, Harvey recounts his Greenbush memories of attending Longfellow School, his Talmud Torah (Hebrew school) classes, and the many Jewish stores and institutions in the neighborhood. In 1991, Harvey and his sister Eva authored a book detailing their family’s experiences growing up in the Greenbush neighborhood, anchored by stories of their father’s shoe repair business titled, “Our Father ABE: The Story of a Deaf Shoe Repairman.”

In 1983, Jenny Beatty was 21 years old and coordinator of the 18 month sanctuary of “Rogelio and Maria Gonzalez” (assumed names to protect their identity) and their four children in Madison, Wisconsin. The "Gonzalez" journey for sanctuary was due to the military dictatorships in Guatemala and El Salvador that perpetrated horrific human rights abuses on their populations forcing tens of thousands of people to flee. Jenny recounts her experiences coordinating the “Gonzalez” family’s sanctuary in Madison including being part of the 4 car caravan that took the family to permanent exile in Canada.

In this interview, Mr. Szwaja reflects on those busy days of organizing in favor of the resolution and the positive impacts of that Sister City relationship—past and present.

Oral history interview with Kara O'Connor, Rae Rocca, and Elizabeth Heinrichs. The three women share the story of 1029 Chandler Street in Madison, Wisconsin, a house built by Rae's grandmother and Elizabeth's great-grandmother, an Italian immigrant named Rachel Rocca, in the 1920s. The house stayed in the Rocca family until Kara's family bought it in 2015. Kara talks about discovering a tombstone with engravings in Italian in the basement while renovating the house, and reaching out to Rae to find out more about the tombstone and the family's history. Rae shares that it was a shock to find out the tombstone was in the house all this time. It belonged to her grandfather, Benedict Rocca (1870-1905), who immigrated from Italy and died young at age 35 in Madison. He is now buried alongside his wife and daughter, and Rae, Kara, and Elizabeth discuss theories about where this original tombstone came from. Rae and Elizabeth also share the history of their grandmother who was a young window and single mother; the home she built, which became a fixture in the family and the site of many family memories; and the Italian community in Madison.

Greenbush (Madison, Wis.)
Libby Schwartz spent her youth in and around the Greenbush community. She was born in 1940 in the neighborhood’s Madison General Hospital (now Meriter Hospital), and departed Madison after graduating from the UW-Madison School of Pharmacy in 1961. She grew up in a two-flat home on Park St. with her extended family, speaking Yiddish with her Russian born grandfather. Her family’s business, Schwartz Pharmacy at 902 Mound St., was a retail and social hub in the Greenbush neighborhood. The original store was demolished in the early 1960s in conjunction with the urban renewal project.
Libby shares her recollections of working at the store in her teen years, helping with stocking the shelves, making malts at the soda fountain, and after obtaining her pharmacy license, filling prescriptions. She vividly recalls visiting the Bush neighborhood’s bakeries, butcher shops and grocery stores where one could buy a fresh challah and lox, and a kosher chicken.

Samuel Moss fondly recalls the Jewish community in the Greenbush neighborhood where he was born in 1938 at St. Mary’s Hospital. His Russian born grandparents moved to Madison in 1924 to open the kosher Milwaukee Bakery on S. Murray St. His extended family worked as bakers and performed the tasks of selling and delivering baked goods to grocery stores and Italian restaurants in the Greenbush neighborhood, and throughout Madison until it closed in 1952.
Sam shares stories of his youth attending the neighborhood's Orthodox synagogue Agudas Achim, going to pre-school at the Neighborhood House, and visiting neighborhood grocery stores and kosher butcher shops.

Yiddish theater
Urban renewal
Sylvia Dworetzky Grunes grew up in the tight knit Jewish community in Madison's Greenbush neighborhood, with her Yiddish-speaking Russian immigrant parents. Sylvia lived with her family in several residences in the Greenbush neighborhood beginning with her birth in 1926 until her marriage in 1946. The family home at 31 S. Mills St. was demolished as part of the 1960s era Triangle Urban Renewal Project which displaced many residents from the Greenbush neighborhood. The site of the former family home was later used to build the new Neighborhood House, still in operation today.
Sylvia shares her recollections of Longfellow elementary school, and the Jewish butchers, grocery stores and synagogues clustered along Mound St. She also describes her time at the Freida Weinstein Workmen’s Circle, on N. Mills St. The “Arbiter Ring” as the Workmen’s Circle organization was called in Yiddish, provided mutual aid for the Jewish community, as well as secular instruction for children in Yiddish culture and language.

Photo of Marc Rosenthal being arrested in an anti-apartheid demonstration at Madison's Capitol Square, 1983
Political activists
In the early 1980s when Marc was the staff person for Community Action on Latin America (CALA), they coordinated a program that brought Victor Rubio of the FMLN/FDR together with Neo Mnumzana of the African National Congress (ANC) to speak. The program was titled "Revolution Knows No boundaries." Linking the anti-apartheid struggle with the Salvadoran revolution was very much in the spirit of the times and their organizing.
This is a photo of Marc being arrested at the "glass bank" on Madison's Capitol Square for blocking the doors in a demonstration demanding divestment from apartheid. It was part of the tent city campaign on the Wisconsin State Capitol lawn.
