The passage begins mid-conversation about languages, mentioning Polish and Russian and Ladino among the Jews of Salonika. It then turns to closing the interview: Kerler says he is leaving soon and plans to spend the night commemorating the Holocaust. Greetings are sent to relatives, thanks and farewells are exchanged, and the interviewee says he rarely gets the chance to speak real Yiddish. A woman who learned Yiddish in Lithuania and reads Yiddish and Hebrew books is mentioned, followed by brief concluding remarks about Yiddishkayt.
The transcript shows mostly the closing of the interview, with talk of Ladino, Yiddish today and farewells, rather than prewar Jewish life.
