FYI, the late Estrongo Nechama´s archives are vast,
and his son Andreas (who until recently was the
head of Berlin´s Jewish community) has a whole room
full of the cantor´s memorabilia. It will take him
years to excavate it all, but if you want to help
him - and Jewish music in general - offer your
services! BTW, the cantor appeared recently in the
film The Tango Lesson (dir. Sally Potter) just before
his passing.
