Editor's note: Several weeks back I attended the memorial for an old friend of mine, August Maymudes (1930-2018), who had been a member of the Communist Party USA for some years. His father Abraham (1901-1989) had been chair of the Jewish Fraternal Order of the International Workers Order and was the West Coast correspondent for the Communist Yiddish newspaper Morgn Frayhayt (Morning Freedom). Augie was a professional pharmacist and a person of some influence among the former Communist Party members in the Los Angeles Jewish community. I reached out to him as part of my effort in the late 1990s to heal the breach between the "Old Left," the Workmen's Circle-Arbeter Ring (the socialist left), and the "New Left" generation that I represented as I became Southern California Director of WC-AR. An oral history with August Maymudes can be found here.
