The tape is a continuation of a formal interview with Raisa Borisovna Turovskaia, born in 1924. (Part 2 of 3. See MDV 630 and MDV 632) She continues talking about the holidays of Purim and Passover, including food customs. The conversation turns to her childhood memories, specifically she remembers how her mother would always give food to the poor. She collected money from the townspeople to help out the chesed (community support center). Turovskaia also discusses religious customs on the Sabbath. She then talks about two Yeshiva students from Dnipropetrovs’k who did some research about local history.

The conversation moves to Yiddish writers and working before the war, before they return to food customs and recipes during holidays in detail. They then discuss the handwritten book of the Volednicker rebbe, in which her father wrote down the stories as he remembered them. Turovskaia then talks about her family and prewar Jewish life in Novyye Veledniki, in particular about her father, who wanted to become a shoykhet (butcher), but his mother would not allow him. She remembers a Christian student at her Yiddish school.

She then discusses her life after the war and move to Ovruch, talking in particular about the town's destruction. She mentions that her family sublets one half of the house to other people. Turovskaia then turns to discussing anecdotes and special people from her hometown; childhood memories about a well; and general life in Novyye Veledniki, including her Jewish and non-Jewish childhood friends. The family of her friend Reyzl worked a piece of land and her non-Jewish neighbors would help out by covering the field when it rained on the Sabbath. Turovskaia returns to discussing her family life during the Civil War. She then talks about her father's different professions as a secretary and hairdresser, for instance. She then discusses life during evacuation [see also: MDV 627]. Her mother heard that the Germans would rape women and girls. Hence, her mother decided to ask her neighbor to take her and her sister Katya out of Novyye Veledniki to the Kharkov region.

Turovskaia then talks about how her mother and grandmother fled with a wagon and horse, and ultimately caught the last transportation into evacuation. Turovskaia then talks about how she found her family in evacuation, as well as how her mother organized daily life with agricultural labor. The conversation moves to her parent's traditional wedding in 1920. Turovskaia returns to discussing life during the war and her father's service at the front. In 1942, her father was released from the front injured and returned home to the hospital, before returning to the front. The camera then pans to show the wedding dress of her mother. Turovskaia briefly goes inside the house in order to get family photographs upon the team's request. The camera collected footage of her garden, before Turovskaia comes out again. The tape concludes with Turovskaia showing a number of family photographs, as well as pictures from the Jewish cemetery.
