My friend Viido and his family also spent time in a relocation camp. But he only learned of the puppets because he was later a frequent visitor to the Estonian House on 34th Street in Manhattan. We actually staged a production there, and were featured in an Estonian newspaper. I put out a call to anyone who could tell me anything about them, or who had seen Oskar Seliaru perform with them. But no one responded. Several of the puppets were elves, and in cleaning them, I temporarily removed their pointy hats. The hats were stuffed with newspaper that dated back to the 1920's. When I get a chance, I'll post some photos online.
