This website is wonderful and i am very glad that as a student i am able to learn about this tragic event in our history. As a student of Daniel Abse,we are all participating in the Triangle Factory Fire play.I use this website to help me know who these amazing people are who experienced this event!
— Mirela K., Nyc   29 Mar 2008

Thank you for building such a poignant and wonderful exhibition and preserving the archives of one of the most tragic events in our history. Many of my best students are in rehearsals for a play based on this event. Despite the research I've disseminated to my students, they, through both their being so deeply affected by the Triangle fire and their quest for an understanding of such a human calamity, continue to, in turn, teach me about the human condition through their engagement with this historic event.
— Daniel Abse, New York, NY   27 Mar 2008

I am not so sure if i had ever heard of the Triangle Fire or not, which is sad. This was such an awful event in the history of America, you would think that it would be taught to students in history classes. I am saddened that I am in college and only now am hearing about this. This is an EXCELLENT site, please keep it up...there are tons of people who have no idea about the Triangle Fire!
— Abby Flowers, Moultrie, Georgia   26 Mar 2008

I first remember hearing about the Triangle Fire when I was in high school, 1988. I'm still a student (2008) and our Women's Studies teacher asked us to look at this web site and write a paper. Now that I've been through the whole webpage, I'm proud to do so.Please don't ever let any of the victims or survivors be forgotten, or their lives will have been in vain. Please keep your website going as long as possible. Thank You -from women all across the country.

There is a memorial every year at the site, Washington Pl and Greene St. I went yesterday 3/20/07 with my mother and children as my greataunt died in this fire. It was a wonderful ceremony conducted by UNITE HERE and the NYC Fire Dept. I plan to attend every year!!
— Cathy Sullivan, New York   21 Mar 2008

I wish this fire never happened cause then nobody would die, but that the workers would get arrested and they changed the city back then so everybody would feel safe and could relax
— abriana marcelino, brooklyn ny   18 Mar 2008

I am required to study this website and readings from my text for American History. I am so very interested in this as is my husband, we are going to try and find the movie. I am saddened by the way these people were treated during such a progressive time. We should have known better, shame on us. My heart aches when I read about the victims and their families. I am angred by the greed in politics and businessmen and unfortunately that is still going on.
— Pamela, Albany, NY   14 Mar 2008

In 1986 I was required to write a thesis on any event that I chose, from a list that the instructor handed out. I chose The Triangle Shirtwaist Fire and at the time I never heard of it. I can feel the pain these victims felt and understand their anguish when they realized no one was coming to help them and that they were trapped. It was a dreadful shame that this event had to occur and for major changes to be made in working conditions, for the future.
— Rose Young-Stewart, Whitney Point, New York   13 Mar 2008

I show the movie starring ( Ted Bosley)to my american History classes . I show when i begin talkinmg about Progressivisim. The movie clearly shows the times and the ways people were living/ shows the enthic neighborhoods . If anybody has seen the film- are there some questions I can ask my students after they watch the video

This is so devastating to know that something like this, happened in the very same state that I live in. This site is very helpful though, and because of this site, I got and A on my Triangle Shirtwiast Factory Fire report.
— Caitlin, Brooklyn, New York   4 Mar 2008

I just checked out the book Uprising by Margaret Peterson Haddix. The cover said it was about an event that changed Am. history. Being a history buff myself, and a 5th grade teacher, I picked it up. I started the book and couldn't put it down! Read it straight through. What an amazing event! Then, the next day I was telling my best friend/ partner teacher about the book, and the Triangle fire that I hadn't ever heard of. She said that she had another book, Ashes of Roses by Mary Jane Auch about the fire that she had read. She hadn't known about it until she read that book either. What an amazing job these two women have done in bringing this tragic event to light. I can't wait to teach/learn about this in my classroom. I’m visiting your site to gather as much information as I can. THANK YOU!
— Mary, Kansas   3 Mar 2008

I had to do a report on a primary document for a history class. I had seen a movie based on this a few years ago and since we were doing the progressive era I started researching it. this site is great and it has helped me with my report. I am a college student and I am continually amazed by the amounts of information one can find on any subject. thanks again.

My history teacher was talking about it, and i had to read more.
— Melissa, Oklahoma   12 Feb 2008

I learned of this site from an article in Smithsonian magazine, Aug. 2006. What a horrifying event! Shame on the owners and those who found them innocent of wrong doing, I wonder how they were able to rationalize their guilt. What a sad day, when employers are more interested in making their fortunes, than the value of a human life. Unbelievably, businesses of this type still exist, operate, and exploit the poor today. Thank you for a beautiful and insightful site.

My grandfather, then an intern at Bellevue, was called to the scene. He suffered, I think, from PTSD ever after. A friend of Frances Perkins, he was scrupulous about seeing charity patients, but never went above the ground floor in a tenement again. Look at our current presidential campaign and ask yourself whether any memory of this even survives outside of John Edwards.
— JMD, Boston   27 Dec 2007

As a son and grandson of union men, I am so thankful for this site.Frances Perkins said this fire initiated the day that the New Deal began, yet so many in our country fail to comprehend or recognize this significant piece of history.It is little known yet its impact on our rights today was massive. Thank You Cornell for not being ignorant on American History, of which no one remembers or seems to care about in the corporate world.
— KGMTT, Vermont   20 Dec 2007

I would just like to commend the site writers on a job well done. I have utilized this site as a source for a high school project, and it was extremely helpful. (All proper citations were made, of course!) I appreciate the primary source documents provided and even the list of witnesses and victims. It was very helpful! Everyone was impressed with my work, including the list of victims and witnesses, all thanks to your site! I hope that you continue to update your information as new data is found on this tragedy. Thanks again to the site publishers, writers, and supporters!

— Diana, NY   9 Dec 2007

This website (web exhibit) is excellent. It is very informative. I used the site for an assignment in my women's studies class and it helped me to understand how the workers could be so desperate that they felt they must jump from windows. It is sad that people do not understand what work was like for these young women. We take for granted the laws that we now have dealing with working conditions. Thank you for this site and will help people understand more about the fire, but also the women and men who died in the fire or jumped to their death. Thank you.

— Daniel Martinez, misoouri   30 Nov 2007

We looked at all this for part of an US History assignment, and I was amazed. We had talked about it in class but the horror of all of this and to believe it really happened didn't hit me until I got on here and read the story by Rose Cohen, Pauline Newman's letter, and the Eyewittness at the Triangle by William Shepard. These were amazing and if you dont know much about this I suggest reading these stories/letters. Also check out the pictures although they arent pretty. To be a young teenager myself in the working field, it is hard to believe what i would have to be working in if i lived in this time period! I am glad this is not allowed anymore and the treatment of women has improved!

— Harry Potter, England   27 Nov 2007

Those people were just cruel. I have been trying to find some pictures, because it is good to look at what really happened. Someone asked me a question today: Would you jump or burn? they said. I told them that I would not do either. I would help others escape as well as free myself, and then gone to the morgue to witness and grieve, and also to look...for my family.
— Selena, Wisconsin   27 Nov 2007

This is by far one of the most saddest and unfortunate things I have read about. My heart and condolences go out to the victims as well as there families for having went through this disaster in American history. This is a great website and I wish there were a way to make every American view it. Thank You.
— JR, Valdosta (GA)   8 Nov 2007

This event struck my heart like a peirced dagger. I now realize the impact that history has on us ALL, wether we like it or not. My heart collapsed when I read the list of victims, there was one girl who had suffered the fire and never woke up ever again at the young age of 11. I am sorry for the greif of the families that had lost there families once and for all in a couple of breathless minutes. I felt like crying when i saw the list of on going victims. I know that this may sound cruel ,but I am glad that this event happened even with all the lives that it took. If this event hadn't come across in history then all the working men and women today wouldn't have all the job facilities that they have. I only wish there was some way that oppurtunities could have arose without all the innocent lives being tossed away. Not your average 6th grader, actually not even your average adult knows about this event, they are all blindfolded to the fact that this event helped shaped some of our lives today, I was completely ignorant to this event until I came across it and realized how important, but tragic it was. People should know the impact that these people put in for us ALL, yes even us kids. These people striked and they wern't afriad to fight for their rites as humans. You shouldn't be afraid of fighting for the rites you have and these people wern't. I am proud to say that we are descendents from great people, the children. The Children of the Triangle Factory Fire.

— Rebecca R. Ritter, Maryland   5 Nov 2007

I am one of the grandchildren of "Becky Bursky" as she is listed on your site. Following the fire she would testify, marry her fiancee Jacob, who had been fired from his job for leaving to search for her. They would move to Detroit and start a family. Their son David, my father, would graduate the University of Michigan in 1938 as an aeronautical engineer. In 1946, Howard Hughes asked him to move to Los Angeles and redesign the hydraulic controls of his mammoth flying boat. Tomorrow marks the 60th anniversary of its flight. My father did redesign the controls and was the co-pilot on that famous flight. He would go on to help prove we could land men on the moon. All that was possible because my grandmother survived. Additionally I was in the twin towers six months before they were destroyed. There is not a day that goes by that I do not think about my good fortune and all the stories untold in 1911 and 2001. It why I became a public servant. Thank you for your website.

— s mckay, scotland   27 Oct 2007

I was not even aware of this fire until my teacher had us research it to learn more about progressivism. I'm glad i know about this know. Its sad but useful history. The other night i asked my parents if they had ever heard of this fire... and they both said no.
— A.M.P, Maine   24 Oct 2007

Never knew this web site existed. I was aware of the terrible fire ever since watching the 1979 TV movie, "Triangle Factory Fire Scandal". Throughout decades I remembered about the man who told the women to jump out the windows. People kept telling me that was a fictionalize account. But truth is I just came across the United Press eyewitness reporter's story from that horrific day, and he saw the man take each woman to the window and led them out to their deaths. Reporter's name was William G. Shepherd...In the TV movie there was a man standing on the roof. He was supposed to be evil. I can't remember if he was the same making the women jump...Also I believe this part was played by Timothy Dalton. But if it was a CAMEO, I cannot find it. And unbelievably he's not in the credits. Does anyone else remember him?
— AWJ, Miami, Florida   23 Oct 2007

I think this tradgedy was one of the most horrific besides September 11th 2001. Any happening where people die or millions of dollars in damage occurs is such a tradgedy and a sad, sad loss. Espically the people who had to jump from the burning building that Saturday afternoon in March. And just because they didn't want to burn to death. I think the escape system should have been checked monthly. To this day there are some businesses that do not have sufficent escape routes. The doors deffinatly should not have been locked. Stealing innocent lives is a bigger crime than theft. I really enjoyed this website. It helped me with the basics about the Trianlge Factory Fire (TWC). I also recommend this to anyone that needs additional information about the (TWC). Thank you.

I had to read Triangle: The Fire that Changed America for school this summer, and this info really helped me write my essay on it! This disaster is so sad and moving. I would never have guessed a fire could impact America in such a big way.

I have just finshed the Ashes of Roses, by Mary Jane Auch. I picked it up at a used book store. I had just watching the PBS flim on New York City a few weeks before. When I was watching the flim and It told about The Triangle Fire. I wanted to learn more.

I was reading about Occupational Health and was led to your website. I am horrified so many people died in such a short time. I am glad that laws were put in place to help prevent another trajedy, it's a shame it took something so horrific to prompt the proper actions. I have read that although the owners were not convicted at the time, they both were ruined financially within 12 years after the fire. I also read that their descendants are truly ashamed of this event and have carried the shame with them even though they were not alive at the time of the fire. Thank you for an excellent website, both informative and comprehensive.

I am much affected by the events and descriptions of this tragic fire at the Triangle Waist Factory. My grandmother worked in a silk mill in NYC during the same period. Although she has passed, I think of all the young women victims in that fire that never had the chance to have children, let alone grandchildren.
— Rosemary Rizzotto, Los Angeles   2 Jul 2007

I really found this website interesting
— Kenny, Georgia   29 May 2007

Moving website! More light should be shed on issues like this! Women today should be inspired by those that have come before us and we should continue the fight!
— Karlin Connell, Valdosta, Georgia   29 May 2007

It is terrible to hear that people were so uncaring that they would just let people work in whatever conditions were there just so they could make money. It's even more sad to know that even now people still are out to make a buck instead of protecting their fellow man.

The stories and pictures tell a very greusome and powerful story about a tragedy that could have been prevented, but just like most things in life; it takes something bad happening to get people motivated to do something.

I had never heard of the fire until now. Nothing is ever is mentioned in history books, except under the bad working condidions at the time. I enjoyed learning more about our nations dark past in relation to labor laws.
— mpeterman, South GA   24 May 2007

This is a horrific story, but this site does a good job of telling it. The site is thorough as it expresses what happened in 1911. I didn't know anything about this situation when I first opened this site, but know I know the injustice that befell these factory workers.

I was born in Suffern NY but heard about it as a girl, also I appreciate your moving tribute to these innocent men and women. I saw some of this on PBS and just read the book by D Von Drehle. It is so moving, and horrible how Blanck & Harris could try getting out of it, Tammany, police paid by them, to protect their hides.
— Tara Lawrence-Stuart, San Diego, California   18 May 2007

The website needs more on how the fire started
— Jdogg, Brookfield   17 May 2007

What a sad moment in American history. To realize that this tragedy was completely avoidable is heartbreaking. My compliments on a very excellent & educational website.
— M. Kennedy, Simsbury, CT   9 Apr 2007

I had to do a website project for school but when I first saw this I knew it was the one I wanted to use. Believe me it took along time to find this but it was worth the work. I learned so much and it touched my heart so. I did find that this website comtained some very detailed newspapers from March 26, 1911 about the Triangle Fire. http://www.brandywinesources.com/1901-1945/1911DOCTriangleFireNewspaperAccounts.htm Thank you so much!!!

Fascinated by the city lived here for 6 yrs. Just now learning history about NYC and recently watched a documentary about the triangle shirtwaste factory fire.

As a child I was told that my great grandmother's sister was killed in this fire. It was part of our family history. After the fire my family moved from New York to put it behind. It was interesting to read the history

Thanks very much for this site, it helped us tons for history day!
— M.R. & E.V., Minneapolis, Minnesota   12 Mar 2007

The US has at least 3 major legacies all involving social injustice including:1)slavery 2)decimation of the native peoples 3)The treatment of legal immigrants as illustrated in this fine documentary. These immigrants were treated much like slaves and not given the opportunity to participate in the best of the American Way and this treatment was and is repugnant to our Constitution. Unfortunately, many types of atrocity continue and seem to be getting worse.
— WMK, LARAMIE, WY   10 Mar 2007

I'm a professional in the fire prevention/protection industry, and I must tell you that the lessons we learned in this horrible tragedy are often ignored in today's world. The next time you go into a Wal-Mart think about what would happen if such a fire started in the clothing area. Where are the exits? Where are the dead end corridors? Is the building equipped with fire sprinklers? Is the system turned on? Don't just think that because it happened in 1911 we learned so much that it won't ever happen again. It can, and it will as long as we're not vigilant. Remember those who died by being so vigilant that it does not happen again.

I thought that they really had to go through some tough times, a lot of lives were lost not just in the fire but also all around the U.S. Also I thought that it was really nice that someone took time to create this website to let everyone know what out Native Americans had to go through and how they fought for rights as simple as having fire escapes!
