The first part of the tape is a continuation of a formal interview with Musya Moiseevna Vaynshteyn, recorded in Nemyriv. (Part 2 of 2. See Accession # 09-010.06-F MDV 602) They continue to discuss Sabbath celebrations and food customs at home before the war. The conversation then turns to childhood memories and friends. She then discusses life during the war. When the Germans entered Sharhorod, they collected money from Jewish homes. When the Romanians came after the Germans had left, they erected a fence around the school on a big square in order to set up a ghetto in Dzhurin. Vaynshteyn was imprisoned there for six years. She remembers how a woman was accused of being a partisan because they found a grenade. After the war, they erected a memorial on the square. The conversation turns to life after the war. When Vaynshteyn returned to Dzhurin, she finished seven grades and left for Moldova to study at a technical school for three years. She met her husband there and returned to Sharhorod to get married, celebrating a traditional Jewish wedding in 1958. When she talks about her difficult life in Dzhurin after the war, she mentions her mother raising three children by herself. Her father was severely injured on the front and her family visited him on a regular basis at a hospital in Uman'. With regard to religious life after the war, Vaynshteyn talks about religious gatherings in private homes in Sharhorod, after the synagogue was turned into a factory. She then describes the synagogue in Dzhurin. The discussion returns to Vaynshteyn's earliest childhood memories and her family's occupations. She then remembers how her mother told stories. Her family celebrated Passover in Sharhorod with her grandparents before the war. The conversation briefly moves to how they survived the ghetto. The interview concludes with Vaynshteyn talking about life today. She addresses the dwindling Jewish community and her visits to her grandfather's grave in Dzhurin after the war, including a rebbe praying in Yiddish at her grandfather's grave. The camera then moves outside and collects town footage on the way to the next interview with Sofia (Sime-Leye), nee Dikerman, and David (Dovid) Geller. Sofia was born 1929 in Bratslav and David was born 1929 in Zhmerynka.
