Malke Leybovna Snook

The team arrives in Khust and meets Snook and others, with Kerler introducing himself and the team and explaining that they want an interview in Yiddish. The speakers check Snook's age and Kerler asks the Hungarian and Yiddish names of her village. Much of the opening is arrival chat, partly in Russian.

Snook says she was born in August 1921 in a village called Lazes (?), where about sixty or seventy Jewish families lived with a shul. Her father was named Leyb and worked with horses, and the family kept a cow and lived from the land. She had two brothers and three sisters who were taken away; she was already married by seventeen and living in another village.

Snook says the minyan today meets only on Sabbath, then names her mother Esther Fuks and recalls her paternal grandfather David, who lived to ninety. Her father Leyb Abramovitsh was born around 1899, and she gives the names of the siblings who were killed. She married in 1939, lived in a nearby village for forty years and moved to Khust in 1971 for a minyan and Jewish life. Her first husband was killed, and she has a son, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Gives parents' and grandfather's names, siblings' names, her marriage in 1939 and the reason for moving to Khust.
