Summary
Short closing file (about four minutes) of a session with Golyanovskiy in Bender, 27 June 2018. Kerler asks about how he used to record Yiddish material, in which letters, and about places where Jewish material could be collected. The informant names Zhabokrich (?), Berdichev, Tavrov (?) and Vinnitsa and mentions a Nirenberg family. The transcript is rough, so several details are uncertain.
Stretches
00:00–02:06
The informant describes collecting Jewish material in earlier years, travelling by car to the Berdichev area, and mentions his grandmother. Kerler asks in which script he wrote it down. The informant says he used Yiddish letters but has not written for many years and has partly forgotten. Kerler also notes the difference between written and printed letters.
Kerler asks where the best places were for finding people with sayings. The informant names Zhabokrich (?), a Jewish village about 25 km from Klezhapl (?), and also Berdichev, Tavrov (?) and Vinnitsa, which had a large Jewish population. They speak of the Southern Bug river and of a house on a street belonging to the Nirenberg family, whose name is linked to Yushkovskiy (?). The final lines are about food or a custom of the poor, but the words are unclear.
