Re: [Cz-L] Czernowitz Jewish Theater Archives?

[Plain text next time please --thanks!]

Dear Arly,

do you mean the Moygenroith/Morgenrot (many possible transcriptions) =
theater in the Althgasse/Cuza Voda?=20

They were manly financed by the American Joint Distribution, who oped =
their archives in the last years and launched everything online. There =
you can find tons of material. Beside I would look for yearbooks=85 at =
archives.org <http://archives.org/> or google.books - I like archives =
very much, just their searching tool is =85tricky ;)

In Chernivtsi you have to visit the regional archives - but you should =
contact them before. You should as well visit the archives of the =
Romanian Ministry of Culture in Bukarest. I would look for materials in =
the archives of the secret service, because the Moygenroith was founded =
by Bundists and open for Zionists - both were under observation.=20

Maybe you can find something at the Leo Baeck Institute? I would as well =
try to find bundist organizations in Israel or the US and ask them for =
help (attention, the Bundists in CEE were a socialistic party - in post =
WW I Austria and Germany the Bundists are =84Bund juedischer =
Frontkaempfer=93 (organization of jewish combatants))

All the best,
Benjamin

any of you know if an archive of any kind was kept on the work done in =
the theater, or where I could even begin trying to research this?
