    Poster for a performance by Habimah in support of Holocaust survivors

    Overview

    Brief Narrative
    Event poster illustrated by destroyed buildings issued by the Association for Aid and Rescue of Jews from Vilna, Poland (now Vilnius, Lithuania) and the vicinity. It announces an event for Holocaust survivors by Habimah, an internationally acclaimed Hebrew repertory theater company founded in Moscow in 1918, with training and support from Stanislavski. Members of the troupe hoped to create a Jewish renaissance by reviving the Hebrew language. Habimah left the Soviet Union in 1926, and toured throughout the world until splitting in 1927. Some members settled in Palestine and Habimah was reestablished in Tel Aviv in the 1930s, eventually becoming Israel's National Theater. Among the participants at this event were Yehoshua Bertonov (1879-1971), and Shmuel Rodensky (1904-1989), both natives of Lithuania and members of Habimah in Russia.
