Information on Samuel and Esther Broude by their grand-daughter Sonia Rosenblatt (Nee Silver)
My maternal grandparents were Samuel and Esther Broude. Samuel was born in 1858 in Roshki, Belarus and he died in Liverpool in February 1936. He married Esther Malitski who was born in 1861 in Russia and she died in Liverpool in March 1938. They were married in Russia and then lived in Bialystock, Poland where their first child Dora was born in 1882. They came to Liverpool, England in 1884. My mother Sarah was born in Liverpool in St James Street in 1890. She and my father were married in Liverpool in 1920 and she died in 1972 in Liverpool. She had 8 siblings. Her oldest sister Dora died when she was 49. Then there was Emma, Sarah, Leah, Mott, Nathan, Louis, Isaac and Miriam.
My memories of my grandparents are these my grandfather had a long white beard and was tall and my grandmother was little and they always came to visit us in a chauffeur driven car. Their chauffeur was called Bill. When we lived in Mount Pleasant which was in Liverpool town and after grandpa had died, grandma used to come and visit us after she had been to Lewis's department store on a Friday after she had had her hair and nails done! Mother used to tell me that each year they went to Karlsbad in Germany to take the waters, they also made a trip to Palestine in the early 1950s and had to disembark from their ship in Jaffa and get a small boat and then travel to Tel Aviv.
We were a very large family, mother was one of 9, all married and all except Mott had children and we all used to gather on Saturday afternoon for tea at our grandparent's house. They had a very large house (or I thought so at the time and still think it was) in 39 Faulkner Square in Liverpool which had private gardens in the centre of the square. I remember they had a cook and we used to have great Shabos teas there with all our cousins.
Grandpa Broude was always a wealthy man when I knew him, and he was a very benevolent one. He used to meet the boats when they brought the immigrants from Eastern Europe and help them to get started. He started the Bikur Cholim in Liverpool and also the Jewish Board of Guardians which is there to this day and helps Jews in trouble. I think he made his money in the first world war in property That is why both my grandparents' headstones occupy the most prominent position in Liverpool's first Jewish cemetery in Rice Lane
Death
12 March 1938 in Wallasey, Cheshire, England at 74 years of age. She was buried in the Rice Lane Cemetery, Liverpool, England in plot no D1.14

Place of Birth
SVISLOCH (Pol. Swisłocz ), town in Grodno district, Belarus; within Poland before 1795 and between the two world wars. A number of Jews settled there at the beginning of the 18th century on the invitation of the owners of the locality, the princes of Tyszkiewicz. In 1752 the Council of Lithuania imposed a poll tax of 215 zlotys on the Svisloch community, which numbered 220 in 1766. Until the middle of the 19th century the Jews of Svisloch earned their livelihood mainly from trade in timber and grain, shopkeeping, and crafts; they later also engaged in innkeeping and the lease of public houses. After a great fire, in which most of the Jewish shops were destroyed, the fairs were no longer held in Svisloch and the Jews were deprived of their principal sources of livelihood. Around 1870 Jews began to pioneer in the tanning industry and improved methods of manufacture with the assistance of German experts whom they invited. By the end of the 19th century a number of tanneries had been established in Svisloch, which employed hundreds of workers. Many Jews from the surrounding areas went there in search of employment. As early as the middle of the 19th century Jewish craftsmen in Svisloch attempted to organize themselves into guilds. At the beginning of the 20th century the Bund Movement developed in Svisloch and it embraced the whole of the Jewish working populace (tanners, tailors, shoemakers, carpenters. smiths, and bakers), who organized strikes for the amelioration of working conditions in tanneries and factories. In 1905 the workers' organization was established for Jewish self-defense against pogroms.
Residences
