Diana Blumenfeld was the wife of Ionas Turkow, and a very popular artist in the Ghetto. In 1939, she went on tour with Ionas Turkow. As they moved westward, the Yiddish Theater suffered more and more from censorship. Like many other Jewish artists, Diana was a member of the Committee for Jewish Artists who could not help them perform but did find them work. She sang many songs which became popular hits that people and performers sang in the streets, including Henryka Lazowert's song “The Little Szmoogler”. In fact, she rapidly became Poland's most popular folklore singer. She also acted in several plays staged by I. Turkow, including Baccalaureate and Kiss before the mirror.
