About Luba: "Daughter
of the Jewish actors Liza Barska
Fisher and Herman Fisher,
studied at the University of Warsaw.
In 1931, she finished the Malubhaska
State Drama School in Warsaw and
joined the Polish theatre. Fisher
had already appeared in 1926 on the
Yiddish stage in the Kaminski
Theatre. She was the wife of the
extremely gifted Polish artist Jacek
Woszczerowicz. As reported by Jonas
Turkow, from the beginning of the
German occupation of Warsaw, she was
in the Warsaw ghetto. Afterwards she
went over to the Aryan side, but
when the ghetto was closed
hermetically she could no longer
enter and could not send help to her
father and sister Annie /Anya who
remained there. She alone, being a
Jew, had to flee Warsaw. Later she
returned and died in a tragic way.
In 1929 she participated in a film
'In the Polish Woods' based on a
book by Yosef Opatoshu."

Yiddish newspaper in 1948, written
