Summary
Short camera-video file from the 2013 expedition, Nagyvarad, 16 May 2013, no interviewee named in the index. It begins mid-conversation with Kerler and an elderly speaker in what sounds like a leave-taking, with talk of a man who came to the synagogue and of someone who died in a car accident. The transcript is badly garbled, so the content is thin.
Stretches
00:00–01:47
Opening of the file, apparently the end of a visit. Kerler wishes the interviewee good health and asks whether anyone there still speaks some Yiddish. The interviewee mentions a man who came to the synagogue. Kerler and the interviewee then exchange remarks about a man (a name that is unclear, perhaps Fruen (?)) who died in a car accident two years earlier, and about another man of similar name. Closing blessings and wishes follow; the last lines are too garbled to follow.
