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 of a session recorded in Kloyzenburg (Cluj) on 17 May 2013; the index gives no name. An elderly Yiddish-speaking man answers Kerler's questions about his childhood, stepmother, yeshiva study, deportation and labor service, and postwar move to Kloyzenburg. At the end Kerler asks about a word he did not catch.
The interviewee talks about eating at the tables of rich and poor families as a young student or bachelor, and about the custom of being fed on different days. His mother died when he was born and his father remarried. He says his stepmother treated him well and made no distinction between him and her own child.
Kerler speaks Hungarian with the family, and the interviewee speaks briefly about a dog and calls it. The transcript is largely unclear.
Kerler asks about yeshiva study. The interviewee says there was a yeshiva near his village, at a place called Piatuzi (?), but it was too advanced for him. His parents and his wife's family were deported and did not return. He mentions a devout man with a beard who kept the Sabbath and owned a large iron business, and the house in Kampiaturzi (?). He gives the years eighteen to forty-five (?) and says he was seventeen in October.
The interviewee describes being taken away in a labor battalion and transport across the Dniester to Transnistria, where he stayed two years. In answer to Kerler he names places, among them Haradishte (?) and Shiarbakava (?). He says he worked digging trenches and later served as a soldier. After returning he worked at a stone-crushing operation near the railway station, and Kerler explains to others in the room what he is saying.
The interviewee says that after the hard years his parents had not been deported, and he came to Kloyzenburg. His sister was married there; her husband, Bela Friedman, worked for a German firm during the German period.
Kerler asks what kind of man the brother-in-law was and checks a word the interviewee used to describe him. The interviewee explains it with words meaning respected, trusted and correct. They discuss the word's meaning, in connection with an intellectual and a merchant.
