Actors abroad
BEFORE (and after) THE GREAT WAR ...
Many stars of the American Yiddish stage
traveled to the various continents
when they weren't engaged domestically for
the Yiddish theatrical season.
-- Here you will read interesting
accounts from some of their travels
in the years before the onset of the
Second World War, all about their impressions
of the Yiddish theatre and the
audiences that attended their performances,
as well as the condition for the Jews there
in the ominous years
before the Second World War, and in the
decade after.
(The articles are organized here according
to the publication date in the Forverts.)
