Notes

1. I am indebted to Nathan Rosen, Professor of Russian, University of Rochester and Ernest Tamary, Beth Ha-Knesses Ha-Chodosh, Rochester NY, for their help with the Russian and Yiddish translations.Google Scholar

2. Klezmer refers to the bands of itinerant musicians who frequently performed for weddings and other festive occasions throughout eastern European Jewish communities.Google Scholar

3. S. An-Ski (pseud. of Solomon Rapaport) died in 1920, Lazar Saminsky emigrated to the United States during the 20's and A.Z. Idelssohn, although born in Latvia, left there in 1901; it is not clear whether Beregovski's attacks are founded—as none of these men were in the Soviet Union past the early days of the revolution.Google Scholar
