Camera file of an interview in Baia Mare (2013-05-19), 10:40, with an elderly woman whose name is not in the index. She recalls leaving for Târgu Mureș(?) for gymnasium at about seventeen or eighteen, the Hungarian anti-Jewish laws, her brother and sister after Auschwitz, and why she stayed in Romania. At the end she describes her father's livestock and export business. The file begins and ends mid-conversation.
The woman says she left for Târgu Mureș(?) for gymnasium at seventeen or eighteen. In 1941 the Hungarians were already there. She speaks of the Hungarian laws against the Jews and the confiscation of everything possible, though not lives. Kerler says he is more interested in her first eighteen years.
She recalls attending the lyceum and working in free time. Her parents and grandfather did not let young people go idle, and she explains a word meaning stricter, with Kerler repeating it.
She had a brother and a sister. Her sister went to Auschwitz with their parents, returned, and died in Israel some years later. Her brother came home, found no future, and went via Germany to Sweden, where he married and had two children. She visited them in Stockholm.
She lived in Romania under Ceaușescu. She did not want to emigrate because she was tired, though friends urged her to join them in America. Her younger daughter is closer, calls every day, and was upset when three weeks passed without a call.
She says she studied Yiddish and liked it, and mentions school subjects such as ethics and Judaica (?).
Asked about her father's occupation, she says her father David came from a village near Szamosújvár (?). The family had fields and raised oxen for export, selling to Vienna and Prague. Her father worked in this trade until the Hungarians arrived and took the Jewish businesses.
