Transcript of an Interview (in German) with Schächter conducted by Rosenkranz
摘要
The following interview with Schächter was conducted by Herbert Rosenkranz in Haifa in 1981. It was recorded on a cassette, which is now archived (as O.85/343: Schaechter Josef, Dr.) in Yad Vashem. Schächter talks about his childhood and the time he spent in Vienna. The recording ends abruptly, apparently because the end of the cassette has been reached; there is no continuation. The following transcript reproduces the wording unchanged to give an impression of the character of the conversation and Schächter’s manner of speaking. For a better overview, headings have been added (in German, as the whole interview was conducted in German). Schächter speaks very slurredly and swallows whole syllables (the conversation takes place in what appears to be a very relaxed and informal atmosphere), so in some cases it was not possible to clearly identify what he was saying.
