Quellenedition zur Geschichte des jüdischen Theaters in Wien

The »Source Edition on the History of the Jewish Theatre in Vienna« comprises 79 sources from 1880 to 1955. Some of the documents have been translated from Yiddish. The edited sources are generously annotated and the Appendix provides information on the most important authors, plays and actors of the Jewish Theatre. This edition is the first to contain a number of documents that have hitherto been difficult to consult, for geographical and linguistic reasons. As such, it is a major source of information for scholars from different research areas and also for the broader public.
