The Yiddish Theatre in the Ghetto from Pietrkov Trybunalski

According to Dr. Mikhal Lubliner, there had been in Pietrkov Trybunalski (Poland), where the Nazis had introduced one of their first ghettos, an acting Yiddish Theatre in the ghetto.

[Eyngekvetsht] into a limited space, in an atmosphere of hunger and need, epidemic sickness and fear of death, [afilu ven der khlf iz shoyn mmsh gelegn oyfn haldz], has the talented ward of the Po'alei Zion, the late martyr Mordechai Meir Leyzerovitsh directing Sh. Anski's "Tog un Nakht (Day and Night)", acting in the role of "R' Dn".
