A wealth of material related to the Yiddish theater in Israel and abroad will be presented to the Hebrew University here shortly under an agreement signed today.
The material will be transferred from the archives of the Israel Goor Theater and Museum of which the late Israel Goor was founder, director and curator until his death two years ago.
It includes programs of theatrical performances presented by the Katzet Theater, the Yiddish drama troupe of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp immediately after World War II when the camp housed displaced persons. Other items include scripts and texts from Yiddish theaters in various parts of the world and the private collections of Israeli actors on the Yiddish stage. Much of the material is rare.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
