ARCHIVES
The Nisco Museum of Mechanical Music has
established an archive of old Yiddish gramophone
records which were recorded from the early 1900's
to the beginning of World War II.

These recordings reflect the spirit, soul and humor of
people soon to be destroyed by the Nazi murderers.

In an attempt to accumulate and preserve as many
of these testimonies of a culture as possible, the
archive hopes that the echoes of a lost people and
their Yiddish language will forever be heard on the
very instruments they were meant to be played on.
