Re: [Cz-L] Ein Lied geht um die Welt

Thanks Abraham for the article about Schmidt.
  From this we can learn a lot :
    Most ,if not all people involved in German entertainment world,
  writers, composers , directors in the radio, theatre ,cinema were
   Jewish.
     So were most Hollywood film makers : Billy Wilder ,Ernst Lubitch
     and many many more. Immigrants from Nazi Germany.
       Teaching Americans what movies are about.

Thanks for the information.
I subsequently did an extensive search and found a long article, but very
interesting, about Josef Schmidt's career, as follows:

JOSEPH SCHMIDT: A Star Falls (part 2)

 On the 30th of January 1933 Hitler became Reichskanzler in a coalition
government with extreme nationalists and conservatives. Mainly thanks to the
only other Nazi in the government, Hermann Goering, the Nazis everywhere
took over police and started executing their not so hidden agenda. Less than
a month later Joseph Schmidt was barred from entering the radio studios of
Sender Berlin. His services were no longer necessary. Maybe it suited him
well at the time as apart from singing operas as a member of the more or
less regular radio company, he had a contract for permanent recording with
Parlophone while February and March were devoted to filming. For the first
time in his movie career he would be the undoubted star. The director was
Richard Oswald (in reality Richard Ornstein, a Viennese Jew) well-known for
his prolific though not very original or talented output of movies in a very
short time and within budget. The other important people for the movie were
composer Hans May (in reality Johannes Mayer, another Viennese Jew) who had
already composed many film scores and who had collaborated earlier with
Oswald and screen writer-lyricist Ernst Neubach (the third Viennese Jew).
