Camera file from the 2013 Nagyvarad session, 10:40, with an elderly woman from Sziget (Siget) whose name is not in the index. She talks about her mother and the mikveh, her late husband's orphaned childhood and communal work, and a German relative who sends her money and letters, with Kerler asking occasional questions. The file begins and ends mid-conversation.
The woman recalls that her mother came home from the mikveh with wet hair when she was a small child. Her own later non-attendance and the relaxing of practice after the war are mentioned, and she describes Sziget as a good town. Kerler asks whether she visited Sziget after moving away in 1948, and she says she did.
She tells about her late husband, whose father died when he was eleven. He worked for a lawyer, enrolled at the Klausenburg (Cluj) university, and had a mother from Vienna who knew nothing of Jewishness. Observant Jewish families invited the orphaned boy for Sabbath and holidays, and he said Kaddish for a year. Later he volunteered for the Jewish community. After the war he used his good German to obtain compensation payments for people, including those taken from Moldova to Transnistria.
She reflects on aging and says she is still waiting to die. Kerler reassures her that she should not worry.
Kerler asks about a photograph, and she explains that a German man is the son of her husband's cousin (his mother converted). She tells how the cousin's mother married a German, how a German bride was involved, and that this man is called Klaus (his brother is perhaps Atl, as heard). His wife is a pastor's daughter, Protestant, and the father's name is given as Paul Rieger (?). Klaus (Riger) sends her money, letters and photographs, and he calls her aunt. He also telephones, and a postman is involved in the delivery of the money. Her husband's death and her own pension are mentioned.
