| Description: |
Anna Mortellite. A name, a name that transcends years of history and working in the United States, and in South Jersey. She was born on September 19, 1916 to Italian immigrants. She was born and raised in Southern New Jersey and has remained here all of her life. Her life is filled with memories of family, and yes, memories of work and her colleagues. In this interview Anna recalls details of her working life, from her beginnings in a canning factory, to her final years as a seamstress in a clothing factory. She fondly remembers her family as she reminisces of her working days as a young girl. She speaks of the Union she joined and how it aided her. She is a walking source of history, this is seen in her interview. Although rather short, it transcends what it was like to live and work in South Jersey from times as early as the Great Depression to as late as the ending of the Cold War. It is truly interesting to see such a project unfold. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy.
