Here is the Joseph Schmidt film and song clip.
You can see his stature - just 1.5 meters.
Not good for live Opera. Imagine Siegfried at 4 feet eleven.
" Ein Lied geht um die Welt "
This was soon to become:
" Ein Yid geht um die Welt ".
Never ending story.

Re Joseph Schmidt
My deceased father was a member in a Jewish song
club in Czernowitz and knew Joseph Schmidt, who
was younger. I remember the excitement when we
listened in Czernowitz to his song Ein Lied geht
durch die Welt¨¨ and were singing or humming it.
We were all proud of his success.
Paul Heger
