seeking Cantor Edgar Alexander



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
