Not online: the recording is held by the project and is not on Media Collections Online, YouTube or archive.org. Everything below is a paraphrase of a machine transcript, the weaker of this site's two transcript layers — see how it was made.
Recording from the 2012 Chernovits expedition, with Kotyar and Shikler named in the index; it is a continuation file from the end of a longer session. It opens with farewells and talk of relatives abroad, then an informal chat about Israel, languages, food and local Yiddish words, with a few short word-choice exchanges near the end. The speaker attribution is uncertain in this transcript, and it is hard to tell who is who.
Farewells and greetings to friends in Moscow. Talk about family abroad: a relative who worked in Moscow, a mother who left for America, two sons in Israel. Mention of a trip to Israel and a walk in Sinai, and of a German folk song that is not fully remembered.
An anecdote about a relative's visit from Kishinev, a French teacher, and French spoken between two women. Talk of gymnasium schooling, then of the team's departure and the car to be taken. A few Jews remain in the mountain villages; an electrician describes working for about sixty years at a factory.
Chat over food about being hungry and about the interview itself. Dishes discussed include a potato kugel and a noodle kugel, and baked tatsh(?) pancakes for Hanukkah. Kerler asks what potatoes are called in Yiddish, and the answer (baraboles) is contrasted with the Lithuanian word. Brief remarks on Jewishness in America and Israel.
Discussion of Israel: birth rates among Palestinians, Hasidim and Israelis, the British Mandate and immigration restrictions, and Israel's economic development.
Offering of soda water, then word-choice exchanges: how to say thank you (a dank), sick (krank vs. khoyle) and sleeping. Mention of two German-language Jewish newspapers. The end is a broken exchange as the recording closes.
