Periodically during my translations of Lexicon of the Yiddish Theatre
biographies, I run across mention of the Yiddish theatre in Czernowitz,
though I don't generally tell anyone because I think the interest is
minimal, though with only a few outstanding translations to go, I'll at some
point announce the page that you can visit that will contain links to all my
Cz native biographies.
I am currently translating a short biography of a Erna Zigler, born in
Vienna in 1911.. The bio states that she is the daughter of Yiddish actors
Roza and Moritz Zigler, and Erna acted in he parents' Czernowitzer troupe.
At least one role was in "Chanale di "Ney-Torin", and she continued to act
in children's role for two years.
There is a Regina Ziegler in my Czernowitz "Wedding Album" (married in
1911), but I don't know who this is, or whether she's related to the
aforementioned Ziglers.
Is anyone familiar with Roza and Moritz Zigler, their troupe, or their
daughter Erna? I think Erna was later known as Erna Siegler.
Thanks.
Regards,
Steven Lasky
