The Yiddish-language copyright-deposit playscripts were researched and selected by project consultant Bertha (Bonnie) Sohn in collaboration with National Digital Library Program and Hebraic Section staff. Michael Grunberger, Peggy Pearlstein, Sharon Horowitz, and Nahid Gerstein, all of the Hebraic Section of the African and Middle Eastern Division, provided invaluable assistance, as did Jurretta Jordan Heckscher, Elizabeth Higgins Null, Dominique Pickett, Jane Bossert, Tracey Salley, and Carl Fleischhauer, of the National Digital Library Program. Additional research on the playscripts was performed by project consultant Michael Wex who is also the primary author of the accompanying essay. Gratitude is also extended to Zachary Baker, of the YIVO Institute, researcher Henry Sapoznik, and John Newsome, of the Music Division.
