Recording Content:
This recording is a continuation of a formal interview with Vilk (Volf Shimonovich) Hodinger. (Part 3 of 3. See MDV 363 and MDV 365) He discusses the relationship with his Hungarian neighbors and mentions significant antisemitism. He talks about Purim shpiels again and describes how he went from house to house alone or with his sister and her girlfriend to perform. After briefly addressing Hanukkah celebrations, he provides information about his sister in Haifa, Israel, who has two children. He then sings a couple of Yiddish songs.
After concluding the official part of the interview, the camera collects outside footage of the synagogue. The camera then collects town footage on the way to the former Great Synagogue with Hodinger. The building is now used as a concert hall, but has a plaque that commemorates the killings of Jews in 1944. They briefly stop at Efraim Berkovich's home and talk with his daughter in Russian.
The tape concludes with footage of the team leaving the town center of Berehove, on the way to the next interview in Drogobych. After arriving, the team enters Evgeniia Izrailovna Shekhovich's house and prepares for a formal interview. (Part 1 of 3. See Accession # 09-010.14-F MDV 431 and MDV 432)
