Dear List Members,
The editor of a large discography-in-progress of German recordings asks for
information about Edgar Alexander, a cantor who recorded for the Jewish
Kulturbund label "Lukraphon" in the mid-1930s. No documentation on Alexander
has been uncovered following his October 1937 departure from Berlin to Rotterdam
though it is variously reported that he immigrated to Palestine and/or was
employed by a synagogue in Long Island. With any news about Cantor Edgar
Alexander, or suggestions as to how one might trace him, please reply to me at
the address below. With thanks,
Bret Werb
