^ The indication "Brock, a neighbourhood of Lodz" on yiddishradioproject.org is a faulty translation of the Yiddish text in Zylbercveig's Lexicon of the Yiddish Theatre, where it is said "Brok, lomzher gegnt". However, Lomzhe is Łomża, not Łodż, and gegnt means here 'region, district, county', not 'neighbourhood'.
