BeschrijvingBlack silk scarf with white embroidered flowers, part of costume worn by Raja Zomina while performing in the Shanghai (Hongkew) Ghetto. The costume resembles "traditional" Jewish male attire. Raja performed traditional Jewish music in the cafe Barcelona, circa 1943-1945. There were two distinct styles found among recreational musical events in Shanghai in the early ‘40s - the Jewish folk style and a Jewish-European mixed style. The Polish singer Raja Zomina was the most popular folk star in the ghetto, well-known for her many performances in Hongkew, especially those with the famous presenter Herbert Zernik; the pair were called ‘Z-Z’ (Zomina-Zernik) by their fans.
