Zylbercweig, Zalmen (1934). "Tomashefsky, Boris" (in Yiddish). Leksikon fun yidishn teater [Lexicon of the Yiddish theatre]. Vol. 2. Warsaw: Farlag Elisheva. Columns 804-840; here: col. 804. (Note: The birth year 1886 at the beginning of the entry is clearly a typographical error, apparently for 1868, since the author estimates that T. was in Berdichev as an 11-year-old in 1879.)
