Summary
A short camera-track file of about a minute and a half from the 2013 Nagyvarad session, with no name in the index. An elderly speaker talks, partly in Hungarian and partly in a Yiddish that is hard to follow, about the few Jews left in a town and its Jewish community. A second voice, probably the interviewer, puts in a few remarks. The transcript is too broken to say more.

The informant speaks mostly in Hungarian, with some Yiddish. The first part concerns who is left in a place, who is younger than the speaker, and who can still speak Yiddish. The community is mentioned, with a remark that it is more an association than a hitkozseg. Few people are left there. The later lines, on handwork and furnishing a room, are too fragmentary to follow.
