The All About Jewish Theatre website has an article by Rebecca Rovit about The Jewish Kulturbund Theatre in Nazi Berlin (she also wrote a book, “The Jewish Kulturbund Theatre Company in Nazi Berlin,” on the topic), which according to the article did productions of Shakespeare's "A MidSummer Night's Dream," "A Winter's Tale" and "Much Ado About Nothing." The link is http://www.jewish-theatre.com/visitor/article_display.aspx?articleID=3681
There's also an interesting discussion about the Jewish Kulturbund's productions of Shakespeare in the book "Shakespeare's World/World Shakespeares: The Selected Proceedings of the International Shakespeare Association World Congress Brisbane 2006" (editor Richard Fotheringham, Christa Jansohn, R. S. White), which you can read online at Google books by searching for "Jewish Kulturbund Shakespeare." I found both this book and Rovit's article to be very helpful when I was writing my novel "The Banished Heart" ( www.amazon.com/The-Banished-Heart-ebook/dp/B009FMQ0QC ), which takes place partially in 1933 Berlin and partially in Shakespeare's London.
