Martin Miller read Soyfer's "Lied des einfachen Menschen" in June 1939, in the very first "Kleinkunst" (political cabaret) show staged by the Laterndl. In January and February 1940, the Laterndl performed three of Soyfer's plays on a series of evenings dedicated to his work and in memory of him. Another exile theatre group, the Austrian Youth Players, performed extracts from Soyfer's play "Astoria" in about 1942.
