A little over a month later, Adolf Hitler became chancellor of Germany which had an immediate and tragic impact on the top people associated with the production as well as the stars of this recording, all of whom were Jewish.\u00a0 Despite being well-received, the production was eventually forced to close due to audience members being harassed by mobs of Brown Shirts. Before he was forced to flee, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Marek_Weber\">Marek Weber<\/a> led one of Germany&#8217;s most popular bands, recording everything from classical and salon music to jazzy arrangements of popular songs. The vocal group on this recording, The 5 Songs, also known as the Able Quartet, could easily be mistaken for the better remembered <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Comedian_Harmonists\">Comedian Harmonists<\/a>. But the group actually pre-dated the Comedian Harmonists and, as with the Harmonists, was inspired by the American recording group <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Revelers\">The Revelers<\/a>. Four of the group&#8217;s five members survived the Holocaust, though two of their wives were murdered in the concentration camps. One of the group&#8217;s members, J\u00f3szef Balassa, disappeared during the war and his fate remains unknown.
