Camera file from a session in Nagyvarad, 16 May 2013, with an elderly woman whose name the index does not give. The first part is chat around her birthday, which falls on Shavuot, and about the community's secretary and helpers. After Kerler asks her to tell something in Yiddish, she speaks of her parents' kosher home in Sziget, deportation, and her wedding on 1 September, held two months after she returned home.
Chat about the woman's birthday, which falls on Shavuot. Kerler says he had not remembered the date but came anyway. She mentions a Romanian-speaking woman who visits and brought a gift. Kerler asks how a woman from the community knows Hungarian. The woman answers that she is Hungarian and not one of their own, and that the secretary of the community is very busy. She also says the woman asks the doctor to send her medicine.
The woman speaks about keeping her home clean, having cooked and washed all her life. She says her hands are now weak. She talks about making needlework items, working day and night, and sending them to relatives and friends in Israel. She also mentions pastries and food at home. The transcript is unclear in places.
Kerler asks her to tell anything she remembers in Yiddish. She refers to what she told earlier about the deportation. She says her parents kept a kosher home in Sziget and were very good people. Kerler asks about Jewish weddings in Sziget, and she answers that she had a chuppah.
The woman describes her own wedding in Sziget. She returned home in July and married her fiancé on 1 September, two months later. She had no wedding dress, since the Russians had emptied the shops. The family flat was occupied by two Russian lodgers, one a Georgian doctor and the other a small trader who drank. The drunken lodger frightened her and her sister at night. She therefore wanted a husband in the house and married quickly, and the lodgers were then moved out. At the end she offers to show the dress.
