Louis Treumann. Selections are "Da geh ich zu Maxim" and "Es waren

Merry Widow)
From the internet: Treumann was an Austrian actor and operetta 
tenor. He was born Alois Pollitzer on 3 March 1872 in Vienna and died 
5 March 1943 in Theresienstadt. He was the son of Jewish merchants. 
He spent his twenties working backstage and in smaller roles, before 
achieving his breakthrough in 1902 in Franz Lehár's Der Rastelbinder 
[de] opposite Mizzi Günther. In 1905 he created the role of Count 
Danilo Danilovitsch in Lehár's Die lustige Witwe (The Merry Widow). 
During the second half of the 1920s he appeared in several films, 
such as Der Rastelbinder (1927), Flucht in die Fremdenlegion (1929), 
Spiel um den Mann (1929), Trust der Diebe (1929), Katharina Knie 
(1929) and Die Warschauer Zitadelle (1930). During the 1930s, as a 
Jew, his opportunities to perform suffered, and his final appearance 
was in 1935. In 1942 he was arrested and taken to a transit camp. His 
colleague, the actor Theo Lingen was able to get him released, but 
soon afterwards he was arrested again. He was repeatedly scheduled 
for transport to a concentration camp, each time saved by influential 
friends such as Franz Lehár. However on 28 July 1942, aged 70 years 
old, Treumann was finally deported to Theresienstadt together with 
his wife Stefanie. She died just two months later, and her death 
plunged Treumann into a deep depression. A few months later, on 5 
March 1943, still in the Theresienstadt concentration camp, he too 
died. In 1955, Treumanngasse in Vienna's Hietzing district was named 
after him.
The record is in excellent (E) condition.
