Leonard Bernstein conducted a small survivors' orchestra in several DP
camps near Munich in 1946 -1947. I am trying to track the fate of some
of the orchestra members. The list below is those on which I could not
find any information. Unfortunately, I only have surnames for some of
the orchestra members, some given names and some birth data.
Here's the list:
Max or Maks Borstein, b 15 July 1890 in Vilna (violin) and his two sons
Eilja Borstein, b. 17 Aug 1902 in Vilna (violin)
Joak Borstein, b. 9 Sept 1904 in Vilna ( trumpet) all three reportedly
went to NYC
B. Weinrab ( trombone)
Melech Granat (drums)
E. Ziskowitc ( double bass)
Jerzy or Georg Richter ( voice)
Luba Kupritc ( vocalist from Kovno)
Rafael Wolfberg ( clarinet)
If anyone can locate any information on any of these orchestra
members, I would be most grateful.
Thanks....Walter S. Elias, St. Louis Park, Minnesota

In an earlier posting I listed three members of the Borstein family
and stated that Maks (Max) was the father of the other two. This is
obviously incorrect as has been pointed out by several readers of the
post. It is unclear what the actual relationship is but clearly not
father and sons.
