Biographical Text
Cabaret audiences in Warsaw and Łódź could not get enough of this artist. He was associated with the best of Polish-Yiddish theaters, Azazel and Ararat, but he also performed in the Bałuty theatres Era and Momus. During the mid-thirties he was so popular that he could schedule solo programs. His recordings traveled with his listeners to Palestine and the USA. Norski-Nożyca performed parodies of well-known songs and songs composed especially for him (like Miksne’s “The Rent”). Of his humorous stage characters, the most beloved was the schlemiel, Jojne The Rifle (Jojne-karabin). In the beginning of World War II, he was forced into the Warsaw Ghetto, where he continued his musical activities until at least 1942. He was deported to the Budzyń camp and participated in musical performances there.

Biographical Text
The brilliantly witty Polish-language texts of Miksne’s songs continue to amuse audiences until the present day. Mostly associated with small Jewish theaters in Łódź, Miksne wrote for his own performances and for other artists, especially Bolesław Norski-Nożyca. His most famous song, “Madagascar,” satirizes the 1937 Polish government’s plan to establish a colony in that island for the purpose of deporting Polish Jews. Other songs, like “The Rent,” responded with ridicule to harsh conditions of everyday life of the urban poor. Nothing is known about the circumstance of Miksne’s death.

Biographical Text
Born into a musical family, Bajgelman received training as violinist and conductor. After a short stint in Łódź, he took the position of conductor with the Kraków operetta, with which he toured Africa and South America. Upon his return, Bajgelman was in high demand as a composer for several theatres in Łódź, Warsaw, and Rzeszów, but it is his collaboration with the brilliant ensemble of the Ararat theater in Łódź that got him most accolades. In the beginning of World War II, he was forced into the Lodzer Ghetto, where he continued his musical activities until at least 1942.
