Milken Archive - Volume Details - Great Songs of the American Yiddish Stage: "“heyday” of American Yiddish theater—including Yiddish Musical Theater, Yiddish Vaudeville, and Yiddish Film and Yiddish Radio—and the songwriters, lyricists, composers, and singers who made it what it was. These various Yiddish stage entertainment vehicles (also known as Second Avenue, after the Lower Manhattan street near which most of the theaters existed) flourished for more than six decades among large segments of eastern European immigrant populations and their American-born children, articulating the struggles and triumphs of an immigrant generation trying to find its place in the American “melting pot.”"
