In her last years she was in an ensemble with Esther Rukhl Kaminska.

According to Zygmunt Turkow, in the first group of the future "VIKT, he also found A., who had married the actor Adam Domb in Vilna, in the production  of Dr. Ettinger's "Serkele" in the Central Theatre, where she had great success playing the role of "Freyde-Alltele.'

Later on A. participated in Vilna in the ensemble that Zygmunt Turkow had put together, and she excelled, especially as the daughter of an arendator (tenant farmer?) in the production of Sackler's "Yizkor."

According to Jonas Turkow A., who had taken a prominent place in Yiddish Theatre, together with her husband, went on a great tour with 'VIKT' across Poland and Romania. She also played in Lita [Lithuania] and Lettland [Latvia].

When on 19 October 1926 in the Kaminski Theatre, VIKT staged the adaptation of Goldfaden's "The Ten Commandments," A. participated.

Jonas Turkow portrays her career and her tragic end:

"Sonya Altboym was a very talented actress, a beloved human being and a very wise person. In addition, she was beautiful, delicate and simple, very representative, had a fine natural tone and gevirkt (affect) ummmitlbar (immediate; direct) with her acting manner and serious attitude to her theatre mission. Already in her first roles, which she received in Ostrovsky's "Guilty-Not Guilty," and then in Andreyev's "The Seven Who Were Hanged," she strongly excelled. She created an entire gallery of wonderful forms, such as in Ettinger's "Esterkele" (Freyde-Altele), Goldfaden's "Two Kuni Lemels' (the marriage broker's daughter Libele), Sholem Aleichem's "Tevye the Dairyman" (Tseytl). After Ester Rukhl Kaminska's death, she took over in "Tevye the Dairyman" in the role of the "Mother Golde," in which she excelled, in one after another role.

When the war broke out, Sonya Altboym, together with her husband Adam Domb and their their wonderful, exceedingly good-looking daughter Liza, were found in Lemberg and worked there in the Yiddish State Theatre. Their twelve-year-old daughter Liza had displayed non-durkhshnitlekhe dramatic stage abilities. Despite her young age, they enrolled in the Lemberg theatre school, and they had great hopes for her.

When the Germans took Lemberg, Adam Domb was with the second-half troupe of the State Theatre in Rovne. He did not appear to return to his wife and daughter. Sonya Altboym, with her gorgeous daughter Liza went through all seven gates [?] of hell during the Nazi Occupation, when they took the Jews to the "famous" Lemberg process, where they were killed.

Both, Sonia as well as Liza, did not have a Jewish appearance, but a genuine Slavic type, with fardisene Russian gezelkh. They had all the chances to be saved as mchlumrshte Christians, if they would go away to another city where no one knew them. However, they did not believe in the possibility of a physical extermination of an entire people."
