Circus in Warsaw 1930's; information for an elderly relative whose family were in that circus

Hullo

I am just starting to research about a circus that I believe was in Warsaw before the WWII. I am hoping to find information for an elderly relative whose family were in that circus who ended up over here after the war, and for his family.

Any ideas where to start would be apprciated.

Thank you very much
Best wishes

old newspapers and directories

possibly: old posters

Thank you for that idea. We are in London so will start looking on the internet.

I imagine there must have been many, here's a sample of one such circus; Staniewski Brothers Circus Warsaw, December 1935.

This is a free copy of a short program for December 1935, few acts that are mentioned there are; American female pilot Edy Ruth, Spanish horse riders Los Aseveras, motorcycle rider Cliff Aeros, English juggler by the stage name of Ray etc. I’m sure that if you combed through their archives from various years of interwar period you’ll probably find what you’re looking for, start there and best of luck.

Look online for someone, who specifically collects older circus memorabilia. You could also contact an older existing circus, such as Ringling Bros. They may possibly be able to provide some old circus name suggestions.

Thanks for your tips both of you very good ideas, I will follow up :) :)

My uncle was in the Circus.
His name was Misha Mozes.
My grandfather was the founder of the circus.
You may contact me for further info if you wish :-)

That is so great to know. Do you happen to have any circus archive photos?
