Cantor Sirota singing at religious services and in concert, in two instances together with his daughter Helena Sirota. Includes a program and a photo of Sirota in cantorial garb. 5 items.

This subseries comprises approximately 1,000 oversize posters stored in map drawers. In Jonas Turkow's arrangement and cataloging of the items in the collection, oversize posters were fully integrated with the playbills found in Subseries 3; the item numbers they received fall within the same sequence as those of the playbills. Both types of items were categorized under the Yiddish heading "afishn" (posters, playbills; related to the French: affiche). The arrangement of the posters, therefore, mirrors that of the playbills in Subseries 3, with correponding folder titles and numbers (the folders containing posters are distinguished with the addition of a suffix "P" to the folder number).

Includes: a copy of an agreement (in Hebrew), 1903, on letterhead of Vilna main synagogue; a letter from Sirota to the Jewish Community in Vilna, dated Berlin, 1904; a clipping of a memoir by Sirota published in Der Moment (27 August 1926); and five clippings (in Russian), along with some notes on a small card, concerning Sirota's concert tour in Lithuania in May to June 1929. 9 items.

Localities: Vilna, Warsaw

Programs for a solo cantorial concert and for a Hanukkah concert at which cantor Sirota participates. Also includes one clipping, 1918, from Vilna, related to an appearance of Sirota and his daughter Helena. 3 items.
