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.
Camera file from Nagyvarad (Oradea), 7 June 2012, indexed as "Arie" in the synagogue. It is the third of four consecutive files, and the transcript is heavily garbled with labels that do not hold. It consists of informal conversation in Yiddish between the interviewer and several people, with a few Russian and Hungarian phrases. The talk touches on tsadikim's graves, the writer Vergelis, a Budapest family, a visitor from Moscow, the team's route through Transcarpathia and Romania, and the few remaining Jews and former rebbes of the region.
Fragmentary talk that opens with a question about whether graves of tsadikim were found. It then turns to Moscow, where someone was in the late 1910s(?). The writer Vergelis, a Communist Party member and editor, is discussed as someone who knew good Yiddish and did not attend synagogue. A remark about atheism follows.
The informant says he was born in Budapest and mentions a family member who died and a first wife. A Russian-language line says someone died in Budapest shortly before a holiday in 1956. A Hungarian-language question asks about visits before 1956. The talk then turns to what a Jew should have (three things).
Riddle-like banter about a table with two legs and a "half Jew". Kerler says he comes from America and teaches Yiddish, and the others note his Russian-born accent. The Moscow-born man tells of emigrating, then going to the USA for work. They ask how long the team will stay (until after Shabbat). A rabbi of Panevezh (?) who was with the Satmar rebbe is mentioned, along with fundraising for large yeshivas.
Kerler goes to look at a sign and greets the others. A man says he comes from Moldova near Moscow and that his father came from Podolia. Names are exchanged (Berl, Ishue (?)). The team lists its route through Mukachevo, Khust, Solotvyno, Stanislav, Ivano-Frankivsk, Chernivtsi, Sighet and other places, and they discuss the long driving distances.
They ask about children in Israel and say there are almost no Jews left in Romania, though somewhat more here than elsewhere. Oradea is called a beautiful city. A Jewish barber who returned from Israel and a large synagogue in a town are mentioned. A great Moldovan (?) rebbe is described whom people from America and all over visited before the war. They talk about the car journey from Budapest, about 300 km.
The speakers say many Christians once spoke and studied Yiddish with Jewish children, and that antisemitism is now greater although no Jews remain. They talk about driving and the year 1944 around Passover. They discuss a large synagogue (Neolog?) and the Keshkemete (?) rebbes. They look for the remaining Jews in Bucharest and mention a Yiddish theater. The last lines refer to rebbes who lived in the region and a street with a cemetery.
