In 1935 , homesick for his native land , Ehrlich returned to Nazi Germany . Jewish entertainers once again were permitted to perform there but only within the framework of the Jüdischer Kulturbund ( Jewish Cultural Union ) and exclusively in front of Jewish audiences . Ehrlich was named director of the Kulturbund 's light theatre departments . However , following the 1938 pogrom " Kristallnacht , " he decided to leave Germany definitively . Both of his farewell performances immediately sold out , so that a third presentation on 2 April 1939 was added . Here , in front of a full house of fans , calling out their affection and encouragement , Ehrlich made his final appearance in Germany
