[The male interviewee who is present in the room is speaking]
The father of the interviewee used to teach a group of young people to dance. His name was Dmytro Zuzak. They had a farm on the South of Tarnopol. Their life in the 1930s was tough; when the war started, it was also a hard period because men were taken to the army. The interviewee mentioned a crisis of 1937.
[Mrs. Zuzak read the poem about feeding the birds she learned in the first class of the elementary school in Ukraine.]
The interviewee said that according to her opinion, the school books in Ukraine were more of a teaching character, whereas, in Canada, they looked more like comics to her.
