I am sad to report that Chana Mlotek, mentioned in this article, passed away on November 4, 2013. From the Post-Dispatch, '[A] noted archivist of Yiddish folk music ... Ms. Mlotek was an impassioned collector of Yiddish theater songs and folk music from Europe's historic Jewish communities. Nobel laureate Isaac Bashevis Singer once called Ms. Mlotek and her husband, Joseph, "the Sherlock Holmeses of Yiddish folk songs."'
