Middle-aged man with moustache, wearing cap, walks through wooden gate toward camera, carrying chicken wrapped in butcher paper under his arm.

Notes:
This is silent footage, but on the VHS viewing copies from TC 02:02:02 through 02:02:11 extraneous noises can be heard. It sounds like someone hit a microphone button while the footage was being dubbed to VHS.
Footage viewed by Hungarian survivor, Mr. George Havas. He identified the locations as Ruthenia and Ungvar. Brought in photo of the synagogue which appears in the establishing shot of this story, this synagogue now houses the Transcarpathian Regional Philharmonic Society. The town of Ungvar, in the former USSR, is now known as Uzhgorod.
Cameraman's dope sheet available in departmental files. This footage is from the March of Time outtakes collection at the National Archives and Records Administration.
