Max Levitas
Max Samuel Levitas (1 June 1915 – 2 November 2018) was an Irish communist activist and antifascist fighter, prominent in the East End of London for many years. Levitas was born in the Portobello area of Dublin, where he attended St Peters' School, a son of two Yiddish-speaking Jews fleeing pogroms in Imperial Russia: Lithuanian-born Harry and Latvian-born Leah.

As a result, in 1927, the family moved to Glasgow, and Max left education. In Glasgow, Levitas became interested in communism, and when he was sixteen, he joined the Young Communist League. In 1931, he moved with his family to the East End of London, and he joined his father in the clothing industry, becoming a tailors' presser. He became secretary of the Mile End branch of the YCL, which his younger brother Maurice also joined. In the East End, Levitas devoted much of his time to ...
