TITANIC: PHONOGRAPH RECORD, CANTOR JOSEPH ROSENBLATT. New Jersey, 1912.

summary

The dramatic sinking of the “unsinkable” ocean liner, including the tragic loss of lives, touched everyone at the time. The recording of this special record was probably inspired by the loss of several prominent Jewish passengers, including Isidore Straus, co-owner with his brother Nathan, of Macy’s department store.
