The Standard Club later moved away from Washington Avenue on to Ponce de Leon Avenue where they had a beautiful new building. This was before World War II. After World War II, they wanted a golf course, so they moved further out on Peachtree Street and built a golf course. [interview pauses, then resumes] The Standard Club property got so expensive that they sold it and built another club in Duluth, Georgia, about 30 miles from Atlanta. Now going back to my early childhood, when we lived on Georgia Avenue, Brisbine Park was a field about a block from our house. I used to go there every day, and I was bat boy for one of the teams that played there. They had a semi-pro baseball league made up of Southern Railways, Schlesinger Brothers, Warren Company, and other teams. I remember bat-boying for a team that Luke Appling played on. We became lifetime friends until his recent death. Also, Johnny Echols, Marty Marion, a lot of other boys who went to the Majors started playing ball there at the same time. We later moved to Highland Avenue where my mother and dad bought a store on Auburn Avenue at the corner of Hogue Street, H-O-G-U-E, and Auburn. This was right across the street from Martin Luther King Sr.'s home. Dr. King used to stay in a grocery store on Saturday nights to protect my daddy until he closed around midnight. The young Martin Luther King, used to deliver groceries with me around the neighborhood. While playing baseball for Bass Junior High School after graduating from Forrest Avenue School, I became interested in a Jewish organization called SIJ [Shearith Israel Juniors], which was a Young Judea club holding their meetings at the Shearith Israel Synagogue. They gave me a scholarship, my first baseball cap, and we used to play every Sunday at James L. Key Ball Field and played other Young Judea clubs. This club still meets once a year, and recently we had our 60th anniversary. Some of the members of our club were Ed Krick, who I think is one of the leading citizens, Jewish citizens in this town, Dr. Gilbert F. Cohen, Saul Blass, Emanuel Kulbersh. Dr. Jake Goldstein, who had something to do with the invention of the atomic bomb, Emanuel Kulbersh from Florida, and Sam Glass from Florida. There's only ten left. After graduating from Bass, I attended Boys' High School where I continued to love sports and played on their baseball team and was a manager of their football team. [interview pauses, then resumes] While I was playing for Boys' High during the summer, I played for the Northside Terrors, a member of American Legion Baseball. We had Jim Bagby [Jr.] pitching on our team, who later pitched in the Major Leagues and stopped Joe DiMaggio's hitting streak. We won the state championship and lost and the reason . . . I luckily made all-state first baseman in the state tournament. This led to me getting a scholarship. From Mr. Harold Hirsch, prominent Atlanta attorney to the University of Georgia. He, at one time, sent 45 boys to the University and died a year before Georgia had its first [indistinct: 16:09]. He really loved the University, and the University Law School is named after him. [interview pauses, then resumes] After university, I played baseball for Georgia for three straight years and after my junior year, I was elected captain of the Georgia baseball team. The only Jew that's ever captained a major sport at Georgia, I regret to say. Made the all SEC [Southeastern Conference] baseball team. While I was at Georgia, I joined the Tau Epsilon Phi Fraternity, there was two other Jewish fraternities on the campus. The AEPi [Alpha Epsilon Pi] and the Phi Ep's [Phi Epsilon Pi]. The AEPi had about 40 members, the Phi Ep's, 10, and the Tau Ep's, 7.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/162478/file/295925#t=438.0,1093.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/162478/file/295925/transcript/85805/annotation/13","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eSCHNEIDER:\u003c/strong\u003e Can you tell me about what year this was?","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/162478/file/295925#t=1093.0,1096.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/162478/file/295925/transcript/85805/annotation/14","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eGERSON:\u003c/strong\u003e That was in the year 1936. When I graduated. I'm happy to say that the Tep was the largest Jewish fraternity on campus. One of the things that I disliked about Jewish fraternities was the rivalry between them. In my opinion, all the Christian fraternities used to laugh at the Jewish boys fighting each other. I tried to correct this, but I think to this day, they still have a too strong of rival. I would say that when I was in college the AEPi at Emory [University] was terrific, the Phi Ep at Georgia Tech was terrific, and naturally I would say that the Georgia chapter was terrific at Georgia. Later on in life, I became the national president, international president of the Tep fraternity. My first job was to see the Tech chapter of Phi Epsilon Pi get kicked off of the campus because they did not have a large enough membership to maintain a chapter. However, the Georgia Tech chapter was a great chapter until the war came along, and too few Jewish students attended Georgia Tech. After graduation from the University of Georgia, I signed a baseball contract to play professional baseball in New Bern, N-E-W B-E-R-N, two words, North Carolina on the Coastal Plain team. This was Atlanta Crackers Farm Club. After one season playing ball, I found out my name was Joe Gerson instead of Joe DiMaggio and I gave up baseball and went into the insurance business with Equitable Life. One of the first things I did was to join the Atlanta Jewish Community Center and the Progressive Club. I worked hard at the Progressive Club, and in 1952, I was their president. While a member of the Atlanta Jewish Community Center, I organized little league baseball there, never letting a father coach his own son. I don't feel that fathers should coach their sons. Somehow or another we chewed out our sons more than we did other players and some will even show favoritism towards their son. The Jewish Community Center decided they wanted to move from Capitol Avenue, it was called the Jewish Alliance at that time, to Peachtree Road. That piece of land was given them by Mr. Ben Massell, M-A-S-S-E double L, a terrific citizen of our town. They made me chairman of the membership committee and I'm happy to say that when the building was opened, we had 2,000 members. The last year we was on Capitol Avenue, we didn't have a thousand members. I was also on the building committee in charge of the athletic . . . in charge of the Health and Physical Education Committee. I felt that the Jewish community of Atlanta had outstanding leadership, so I decided to devote my time to the community, the whole community of Atlanta. I don't feel that I could ever pay back Atlanta . . . for what they have done for me. I am happy to say that I later became president of the Atlanta Touchdown Club, founder and president of the Braves 400 Boosters Club, chairman of the Scottish Rite Hospital Football Committee that sponsors Detect Georgia Junior Varsity Game each year. For many years, it was called the Tech-Georgia-Freshman game, and we used to sell 40,000 tickets to the game. But when they quit having a freshman team, and in order to keep the game going, they had a junior varsity game. One year, I sold over 8,000 tickets to the freshman game. Now, if we have 8,000 people at the junior varsity game, it's considered a good crowd. The game hit a new low and they asked me to take it over and the first year, we raised $200,000, where the previous year was $45,000. I was in charge of this game for six years and thought I'd done a pretty good job. After I gave it up, John Hunsinger was made chairman and changed it to the Scottish Rite Festival, which includes a football game, a dance, a banquet, 5K relay, and now I'm happy to say they raised over a million dollars for the festival. For many years, I served on the board of Scottish Rite Hospital, and now I am an emeritus member, whatever that means. In 1970, I took over as then program chairman for the state of Georgia Sports Hall of Fame, which had less than a hundred people at the 1969 induction banquet. In 1970, we had over 400 people. Thanks to our sponsors, we gave all the new inductees a blazer and a Hall of Fame ring. We have now had well over a thousand people attend. I am happy to say that in 1986 they took me in as a member.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/162478/file/295925#t=1096.0,1896.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/162478/file/295925/transcript/85805/annotation/15","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eSCHNEIDER:\u003c/strong\u003e You . . .","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/162478/file/295925#t=1896.0,1897.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/162478/file/295925/transcript/85805/annotation/16","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eGERSON:\u003c/strong\u003e At one time, I was president of the Atlanta chapter of B'nai B'rith.

After a while, I got tired of being at Miami Beach because we all had to wear ties to the permanent party at night. It was good duty at first, all these men's wives came down and while their husband was at officer candidate school for 16 years, and our job at night was to take care of the female civilian morale, and it was good duty. But I hated having to dress up every night, putting on that tie, because it was hot. I finally got shipped out of there after being there two years to the Medical Corps, which was in Camp Grant, Illinois, a phys-ed school in which they gave you special calisthenics to give to patients in hospitals and people who got back from being injured. Then they shipped me to Colorado Springs, Colorado. I liked it there because the lieutenant, my boss, was a ball player and I was making ninety-six dollars a month, and he got me a job making eighty dollars a week playing baseball for the M\u0026O Cigar Company in Denver [Colorado]. We stayed there, now baseball season is over, and this lieutenant called me in and said, \"Joe, you ought to go to officer candidate school.\"  I went to officer candidates school in Abilene, Texas. That's where people from overseas volunteer to go back overseas [indistinct: 51:16] places there. It was hot out there. Anyhow, when I got out of officer candidate school, they sent me to Lawson General Hospital, in Dunwoody, Georgia . . . Marietta, Georgia, it's out here where that airport. This boy, Luke Appling, who played for the Chicago White Sox, told me that he was going to get me to stay there and manage the baseball team. They just passed a rule that an officer had to manage the team. Here's a ball club that Luke Appling, who's in the Baseball Hall of Fame, he couldn't beat because he's proud, he had a tough job. His job was to set up [indistinct: 52:10] after the players. I told him I didn't want to, I said, \"I'm going back in the insurance business when I get out of here. I don't people to think I got that job because I played baseball and didn't now.\" He told his major about me, his major called me in, told me he wanted me to run the baseball team. I said, \"Major, I'm going to be honest with you. I didn't mind being stationed close to my home at this place until I saw it was an amputee center. All these people there, it was a downer.\" I said, I'd like to go to Daytona Beach [Florida] where they had a rehabilitation . . . \"You think it over,\" he said, \"The man's coming down here from Washington [D.C.] to give you an assignment, and I'm going to ask for it.\" He came down and he started interviewing me, and the major had already talked to him.  I told him just what I told this major that I thought I ought to be overseas with the exception of until I got to this hospital and see all those amputees, and I'd like to go down to Daytona Beach. He called me Joe instead of a lieutenant, and he said, \"I'm don't mind the way you feel. I'm going to send you to Swannanoa, North Carolina. Swannanoa, North Carolina is 10 miles from Asheville, North Carolina, in the mountains. Towards Morganton, North Carolina. It was Billy Graham's hometown. He said, \"That's the hospital. They already got a major league ball player named Spud Chandler.\" I said, \"Oh my God, Spud!\" He pitched for the Yankees, and he went to the University of Georgia, great football player and baseball player too. He broke his ankle playing catch with me with a football and he had it in his contract that he wasn't supposed to touch a football. We said he fell into a hole when he was working out for baseball. If his name had been Joe Gerson, they would have drafted him because he got a piece of wire until he died in his ankle. They wouldn't . . . they put out a fellow named Hershey, General Hershey was the head of the draft people, and they put out an order that no professional athlete and no draft board can turn a man down. The only way you can be turned down is through the Hershey's office. A lot of these ballplayers were getting off and playing ball for the benefit of the soldiers. Wherever they . . . in other words, in Hawaii or the Philippines, they'd send them out. Anyhow, this major told me he was going to send me two more ballplayers. He sent me two more major league ballplayers, and everybody wanted to play us. We had Spud Chandler as a pitcher and Ray Mueller as a catcher and Ron Northey who lead the National League in homeruns. We decided we weren't going to play anybody who didn't send an airplane after us and we'd play them at home and home bases. They'd sent planes out to us, so we played the Jacksonville Naval Air Station. We played Maxwell Field down in Montgomery [Alabama], and the North Carolina State League would give up a Sunday and play for these patients. At this hospital, we had malaria and skin disease people. I'll never forget, they put me in charge of the baseball field, line it up and everything. Then I had a group of men that went into the different wards to give calisthenics to these patients. If they had a broken leg, you give calisthenics to everything but that broken leg or if they had an infection in the arms and what they wanted to do was to get these malaria patients and really worked the hell out of them when they'd sleep at night. It kept a lot of men from going crazy. During World War I, a lot people that got shot was in the hospital, didn't have nothing to do and they just went bats. Here, World War II, you went in and give them calisthenics. Next thing you know, an occupational therapy come in there, and she'd get the guy to make a belt out of leather stuff and all that kind, and then . . . I had a friend named Al Garber, he's a CPA here in town, and he had a friend who was a schizophrenic from Tallahassee [Florida]. He wrote me and told me to go in there and visit with this guy. I didn't know what schizophrenia was, but as I walked into his cell, it was like a cell, he jumped on the bed like he wanted to get away from me. This doctor there, after me and that fellow became friends. He said, \"Joe, you did more good for that boy than I could. Just keeping him busy and talking French.\" Until I mentioned Al Garber's name, he was scared of me but after that, he found out I was a friend of Al Garber. That's my military service. Now what's another question? I managed the team, we had a great team, too.

While I was at Boys' High, there were very few Jewish boys that played baseball but there was a lot that were football players and basketball players. We used to have a club in Atlanta that's called Progressive Club, but before we got fancy with our Progressive Club, it was called the Jewish Progressive Club, and they had one of the great basketball teams that Georgia's ever had as far as semi-pro. The Atlanta Athletic Club was good, but they had boys like Kitty Katz, Kitty Katz just passed away, was a great basketball player. He was a terrific in football and one of Atlanta's best softball pitchers, fast softball pitcher. I would say Kitty could have been, he probably was the best Jewish athlete ever came out of Atlanta. We go back to a guy named Monk Dorfan who used to pitch for these semi-pro teams around town, and he was terrific. He was before my day, but I've heard a lot, and I've seen him pitch. Then one of the great boxers of our time, was the man that owned the Bentley Hotel, downtown. I forget his name, I shouldn't have. I'll get back to him in a minute. Then football players, we've had a bunch of them, a boy named Icky Orenstein recently passed away was All-State halfback for Boys' High School, went to Southwestern University in Memphis [Tennessee] and made it to little All-American. Ben Erdich [sp], who was a great ball player at Boys' High, he went to the University of Georgia. He got killed during the war. He was a [indistinct: 1:01:24]. A fellow named Smith, Nathan Smith, he was a great baseball player, but very Orthodox, and his daddy wouldn't let him go off and play because he scared, he'd eat pork, but he was a good one. Then we had some from today like the boy named Berman went to Georgia Tech, Alfred was a good ball player. Then we had Gene Asher, he was a good boxer. We had a boy just passed away, Harris Jacobs, was a good all-around athlete, wasn't good enough to play in college, but he was a good player on his high school team. We had boys playing on the JPC [Jewish Progressive Club] team they would bypass college and play for JPC because they needed the money. A boy named Happy Ginsburg was a great ball player. A boy named Steve Browdy. Little Kitty and big Kitty, both of them were Katz. Harry Ginsburg was a football player at Boys' High. Then we had Barron Levin, who was a good football player at Boys' High. Back before my day, they had a baseball player Sammy Mayer, who played for the Atlanta Crackers and later went to the majors. Harry Kuniansky, one of the great guards at Georgia, played in the Rose Bowl team. We've had many great athletes that . . . I managed the Jewish war veteran team that Kitty pitched for and we, every year go out to federal prison and play for the benefit of the prisoners out there. We fire one over the wall they say that's all right let me go get it. I was playing right field [indistinct: 1:04:05] and I talked to them, and I asked them where Al Capone was and they said, \"He's over there playing tennis. He thinks he's too good to come over and watch a ballgame.\" It was a lot of fun. This was always in the summer, and the New Yorkers would put a towel over their head and run around and get sweaty and you'd think they thought they was at Miami Beach instead of Atlanta Federal Penitentiary. You get some real experience going around, when I was playing semi-pro ball, I played for Callaway Mills in LaGrange, Georgia. It was quite an experience to live in a mill town to see how those people eat. One summer, I played in Anderson, South Carolina for a mill team up there. It was quite an experience. I think that life, one of the richest things about life, is being able to adjust yourself to be with the rich, the poor, the white, the black, the Jew, the non-Jew.

You'll never find a football coach that disliked one of his star players because now their job is secured. I assure you, today the greatest Jewish player that is probably coaching today is Marv Levy the coach of the Buffalo football team. He's lost . . . four straight Super Bowls but takes a hell of a coach to get to the Super Bowl. Nobody's talking about firing him because he's lost four straight Super Bowls, he gets a raise every year when he plays in the Super Bowl. A real nice man, by the way. We had a boy right before I got to school, he went to Georgia, his name was Bennie Rothstein.

It coincided with a series of violent pogroms that saw many Jews emigrate from the Russian Empire. The First Russian Revolution did not overthrow the Tsarist autocracy or eliminate the restrictions placed on the Jewish population of the Pale of Settlement, but it did give rise to Russia's first democratically elected parliament and resulted in some improved opportunities for Jews within the Russian Empire. During the final phase of World War I, in 1917, another revolution took place, which replaced Russia's traditional monarchy with the world's first communist state. Although the new communist government replaced the centuries-old official antisemitism of the Tsars, deeply ingrained antisemitic attitudes made Jews suspects of potential opposition.
