The team drives around Teplyk with Leonid Trachtenburg, the director of the Jewish Community of Teplyk, who points out important historical Jewish sites in Teplyk, including sites related to the Holocaust, the sites of former synagogues, and the cemetery. The tape concludes with the beginning of an interview with Maria Andreevna Yakuta.

From the machine transcript

The team drives around Teplyk with a Russian-speaking guide, probably the community director, who points out a cellar where more than a thousand people were shot on 27 May 1942 and where captives were held afterwards. He shows the sites of former synagogues, now a bathhouse and a dry cleaner, and the Jewish school of 1928. He discusses the old Jewish cemetery with its eighteenth- and nineteenth-century graves, the history of Jews in Teplyk, the Potocki castle, and a former Jewish mill. From about 35:30 a woman begins an interview in Yiddish and Ukrainian, with a dialect question about "hayssn" versus "gayssn" and the Tisha b'Av bur-throwing custom.

The transcript shows the synagogue sites, the cemetery history and the mill, and that the Yakuta interview starts with dialect questions and a Tisha b'Av custom.
