Posted by Richard W. Montague on 4/24/2004, 2:43 pm, in reply to "Re: SACK FAMILY [POSSIBLY ZAK]" You mention that Erna Sack was a cousin of your grandmother. This is an interesting reference. Erna Sack was her married name, she was born Erna Weber in Berlin-Spandau in 1898 and married her husband, Hermann Sack, in 1921 Can you provide any further information on Erna Sack. Thanks in advance for your help and interest Richard W. Montague

I am compiling on Erna Sack (Erna Sack, nee Weber, born in Berlin-Spandau in 1898 and died in Mainz 1972), the pre-WWII German coloratura soprano. She recorded the duet Niemand liebt dich so wie ich in Berlin for Deutsche Telefunken in November 1935. Marcel Wittrisch, tenor, sang the male part. The duet has recently been re-issued by Telefunken/Legacy (Warner Music Manufacturing Europe) as part of the Erna Sack: Die Deutsche Nachtigall collection (3984-28412-2).
