Manasse Herbst

Manasse Herbst was a German-speaking actor and singer. He participated in 416 sold-out performances of the operetta White Horse Inn between 1930 and 1932 in Berlin. During the first half of the 1930s, Herbst had a relationship with the Baron Gottfried von Cramm, who was sentenced in a Nazi propaganda trial. Due to his Jewish background and the Nazi prohibition to perform his job, Herbst fled from Germany in 1936. Later, he became a U.S. citizen.
