- Comments
- Popular Jewish Schlager singer and actor, born in the Bukovina province of (then) Austria-Hungary (later Rumania). He moved to Berlin in 1928, launching a successful international career. Ironically, Schmidt enjoyed his greatest successes during the rise of the German Nazis, who subsequently prohibited Jewish artists and writers from working. In 1937, he toured the United States and performed in Carnegie Hall and was immensely popular in The Netherlands and Belgium.
