Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor:
Pesach'ke Burstein ( 1896-1986) was born in Warsaw. Raised in Berdiansk, Russia, he ran away from home at fifteen to join a traveling Yiddish Theatrical troupe, never again to see his parents, who were subsequently killed in a pogrom. By 1924 Burstein had made such a name for himself that Bores Tomashefsky, a legendary pioneer in Yiddish theater in America, brought him to New York City, where his career began to flourish.
Lillian Lux Burstein has remained active in film and television. She visited several cities with a screening tour for the highly acclaimed documentary of the Bursteins' life, Der Komediam, which has received several awards including the Israeli Oscar for Best Documentary in 1999.
