Weisgal, Meyer Wolfe, 1894-1977
Variant namesMeyer Weisgal (1894-1977) had been the initiator of the idea which eventually led to the Broadway production of the biblical drama The Eternal Road (1937), which was written by Werfel and staged by Max Reinhardt, with music by Kurt Weill; Weisgal had also organized the financing of the production. In the 1940s, Weisgal, an active Zionist, was an aide or secretary to Chaim Weizmann. It is evident from the correspondence that Werfel maintained a friendship with Weisgals, who lived in New York City. Ziff was Weisgal's secretary.
