She recalls her adjustment to life after the war and talks about her family's history with Judaism, also giving some insight into Jewish culture, law, traditions, and customs. Antonio Callwood discusses his family genealogy and his career as a musician. The couple delve into their marriage in 1990 and their extensive travels for Antonio's music career as well as their eventual settlement in Las Vegas, Nevada in 2007. The Callwoods end the interview with a discussion of the Jewish community in Las Vegas and an awareness of how the new environment allowed them to explore their Jewish identities.
