Index of material on this site about the interesting pianist
Maryla Jonas (1911-1959)
Please click on the year to read the material on-line.
Clicking in the index on a colum header sorts the table on that column.
Much of this material is quite hard to obtain elsewhere,
one reason why I am making it available here.
Items marked "Barcik collection" were very kindly provided by Edward Barcik, who had access to part of the estate of Maryla Jonas's childless sister Berta Holin.
The best article to read first is probably the 1947 Taubman one.
A nice long article by Christopher Howell, referring to this website, appears here:

Contributions of more material would be welcome.
