Naturalization
Information on Samuel and Esther by their granddaughter 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
23 February 1936 in Southport, England at 78 years of age. He was buried in the Rice Lane Cemetery, Liverpool, England in plot no D1.13

He was hon. vice- president of the Jewish Board of Guardians, to which he had devoted lifelong service.

MR. SAMUEL BROUDE (Liverpool) With the passing of Mr. Samuel Broude, in his seventy-ninth year, Liverpool Jewry deplores the loss of one whose outstanding personality has, for over for forty years, advanced the opportunities for strengthening and perpetuating a fuller Jewish life in the Community. He He was born in Swislovitz, came to Liverpool fifty-two years years ago. Inspired by his training at the Yeshivah, he quickly recognised that the Community had not responded to changes that should have emanated from the large influx of co-religionists from abroad. from abroad. And so he took a foremost part in giving giving its its rightful rightful place to the section of the Community which he represented, by creating and establishing a cordial understanding with existing generations, who had not yet realised the needs of a growing population. As a means to this end, he, with other pioneers, established the Crown St Street Beth Hamedrash, which subsequently took up its more imposing Synagogue in Islington, the Central Synagogue. Soon followed the opening of the New Hebrew Burial Society and Chevra Kadisha, the Talmud Torah, the Lechem Aneyim and the Yeshivah. And while to-day these institutions remain, in part, as a monument to his untiring efforts and zeal, he gave his services freely to the Shechita Board, the Baths Committee, the Sheltering Home, while the Friendly Societies Movement equally shared his interest. In all these Institutions, he had filled the highest offices and positions of trust, and contributed liberally for their respective objects.
Notwithstanding his manifold activities, Mr. Broude will be best remembered for his labours in the cause of philanthropy. For a period of forty-six years, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to the Jewish Board of Guardians, and was its Hon. Vice-President. He was unceasing in his attendance at relief meetings, and his sound judgement and ripe experience was invaluable in dealing with the Board's complex problems. His last official duty, previous to his illness, was as acting Chairman to the Temporary and Fixed Allowances Committee, over whom he presided. His commanding stature portrayed his indomitable will and force of character, and compassed a cheery disposition with a warmth of heart that gave relief and healing to sorrows and misfortunes that beset friends or strangers. Outside the Community, particularly in commercial circles, his honour and integrity enhanced the dignity of the Jewish name, while within the Community he will be regarded with the highest esteem and affectionate remembrance. He leaves a widow, four sons and four daughters, to whom the whole Community extends its heartfelt sympathy in their irreparable loss.

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.
