Leon Liebgold

He was also featured in the highly successful 1936 film Yidl Mit'n Fidl with Molly Picon.

[2] After completing The Dybbuk, Liebgold and Liliana left Poland with their troupe, "Di Yidishe Bande," for a world tour, appearing in Lithuania, Latvia, Belgium, and France.

In 1939, when World War II broke out, they were in the United States, thus fortuitously escaping the Holocaust.

[4] Liebgold possessed both a resonant and fine melodic, cantorial-type voice which embellished both his speaking and singing on stage.

[5] He and Liliana, married nearly 60 years until she predeceased him in 1989, are buried together at Mount Hebron Cemetery, in Queens, New York.
