She explains that he was very young then. Her brother also joined the army, and another person, Alec Klassen, did so too. They were the only people from their Mennonite church community who joined the military. She thinks that the minister didn't talk to them about their decision. Her husband's older brother, in contrast, chose to be a conscientious objector.\nRiediger recalls that when her husband went overseas, the war was already over. She recalls that her husband's parents never talked about her husband's decision. Her own parents didn't question her brother too much but he never went overseas.\nRiediger would have preferred if her husband had also become a conscientious objector but he wanted to fly a military plane. She thinks that for her husband it was more like an adventure. They never talked about this issue.\nRiediger asks the interviewers if they have interviewed anyone (from the Mennonite community) who did military service. One of the interviewer recalls that there was a man who enlisted but due to his German background, he lost his Canadian citizenship.\nRiediger thinks that the minister should have intervened and counseled them as her husband was only 19 years old then, and learning to fly a plane was exciting for him.\nRiediger states that she didn't understand that someone was supposed to fly a plane, drop bombs on cities and kill people. \n","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Synopsis"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58594/file/132690#t=0.0,489.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58594/file/132690/index/52392/annotation/3","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"conscientious objection","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58594/file/132690#t=0.0,489.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58594/file/132690/index/52392/annotation/4","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Mennonites","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Keywords"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58594/file/132690#t=0.0,489.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58594/file/132690/index/52392/annotation/5","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Introduction, family background, migration of relatives","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Title"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58594/file/132690#t=489.0,819.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58594/file/132690/index/52392/annotation/6","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Riediger was born in Michaelsburg, Russia, (on December 15, 1922). She was very little when her family left, so she doesn't remember anything in Russia.\nHer grandparents stayed in Russia because her grandfather was in poor health. It was very hard for her grandmother as all her children had gone to Canada. Only one daughter stayed with them.\nAll she knows about Russia is from the stories her parents would tell her. Already after her parents had left, husbands were taken away from the families. Riediger remembers that her mother cried all the time as she missed her family. In addition, her mother didn't know what to put on the table for six children.\nShe thinks that her parents were among the last Mennonites who left Russia for Canada. Her mother's sister wanted to come to Canada too but her children had problems with their eyes. They had to stay in Germany until that was healed and by that time, Canada closed its doors to migrants. So, they had to go to South America. Some relatives of her parents went back to Russia and couldn't get out anymore later when they wanted to go to Paraguay.\nRiediger is grateful to her parents that they made the decision to go to Canada. Her mother received sad letters from Riediger's grandmother (her mother's mother), and whenever a letter came from there, Riediger's mother was very depressed. The living conditions of her mother's sister in Paraguay weren't good either. They were living in the bush and lived in self-constructed huts of branches.","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Synopsis"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58594/file/132690#t=489.0,819.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58594/file/132690/index/52392/annotation/7","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Mennonite church services, singing, language use","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Title"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58594/file/132690#t=819.0,1191.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58594/file/132690/index/52392/annotation/8","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Riediger describes Mennonite church services. Both her parents liked to sing, and her brother would play an old organ without any notes. That was in Gull Lake, Saskatchewan.\nRiediger's mother learned to speak English quite well but they always spoke Low German at home. However, in church everything was in High German, so her mother tried to teach the children some High German. The catechism was also in High German, and she translated it into Low German. Her mother was very determined that all her six children would be baptized. Later, two of her brothers married English women (one was a Catholic, one was an Anglican), and they joined the church of their wives.\nRiediger states that she can speak High German and understands it perfectly but she prefers to speak English or Low German. She used to speak High German to her children as they attended Saturday German schools. Her children cannot speak Low German. The reason why they didn't teach their children Low German was that the church language was only High German. There weren't any English church services then. The language in the Sunday school was also High German. Now, there are also English church services.\nRiediger herself never went to a German school in her childhood. In their town, there was only an Anglican church, and when she came to Manitoba at the age of 14 where they attended Mennonite church services, her mother would translate for her. They had a very nice minister called Enns there.","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Synopsis"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58594/file/132690#t=819.0,1191.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58594/file/132690/index/52392/annotation/9","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"languages","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Sunday schools","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58594/file/132690#t=819.0,1191.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58594/file/132690/index/52392/annotation/10","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"catechism","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Keywords"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Mennonites","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Keywords"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58594/file/132690#t=819.0,1191.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58594/file/132690/index/52392/annotation/11","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Reflections on her age","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Title"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58594/file/132690#t=1191.0,1266.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58594/file/132690/index/52392/annotation/12","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Riediger recalls that at one of her birthdays, her grandson would say: \"You're 76 years old and you're not even dead yet\".

Her mother was very busy as they had to chop their own wood and get their own water.\nRiediger recalls a situation when her brother was sent to a store in order to buy a \"cylinder\" (in German, the item was called \"Zylinder\", a part of a lamp). It took her brother quite a long time to explain what he needed.\nRiediger's mother had an English recipe book that her English friend had given to her. Her mother would write down in German what she needed. Then they would go to their father and asked for money in order to buy these things. Her father would look at this slip of paper and cross out some items which he considered not staples. In the end, her mother couldn't cook the particular things she wanted.\n","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Synopsis"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58594/file/132693#t=134.0,427.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58594/file/132693/index/52389/annotation/7","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"chores","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"garages","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"languages","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"recipe books","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58594/file/132693#t=134.0,427.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58594/file/132693/index/52389/annotation/8","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Mennonites","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Keywords"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58594/file/132693#t=134.0,427.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58594/file/132693/index/52389/annotation/9","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Honey moon, dating her future husband, movies, social activities, public safety then and now","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Title"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58594/file/132693#t=427.0,945.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58594/file/132693/index/52389/annotation/10","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Riediger recalls that her happiest memories are the times when she was dating her husband. Their wedding gift was passes for the bus to Kenora, Ontario. That's where they went for their honey moon.\nWhen she was dating her future husband, he had an old car. On evening, they drove out to Winnipeg Beach but most of the time, they stayed at her parents' place and listened to the radio. Her little brothers loved the visits of her future husband. In the summer, they would go for long walks.\nOnce, she invited several people to have a little party, and her mother didn't have enough cups, so she bought a few extra cups.\nThey would come to wedding dances, even if they weren't invited. They had a dance at their wedding too. They had a record player, no live band.\nRiediger describes some of the movies she watched during WW II: They were sad war movies but she nevertheless liked them. The movies then were different, not like they are now. These movies were about a couple that fell in love, then the man had to leave and so on. When she worked at a taxi company while her husband was overseas, she would get a pass every week, and on Monday night, she would go straight to the movie theatre, see a movie and take a bus home.\nThe interviewer states that now you wouldn't walk around in the evening in certain areas of Winnipeg. Riediger says that in those years, it was perfectly save. \nWhen they had Jugendverein-meetings on Alexander Avenue, it was dark when she came out, and she would walk to main street to get her bus on her own. She wouldn't do that now. Riediger recalls that mothers would leave the carriages with their sleeping babies on the street in front of the Eaton's store while they went for shopping. That's about public safety 58 years ago (in 1947). Her children cannot believe it when she tells them this story.\nShe would also leave her sleeping baby downstairs and pick her up later. She only did this with her first-born.","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Synopsis"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58594/file/132693#t=427.0,945.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58594/file/132693/index/52389/annotation/11","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"automobiles","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"bus travel","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"dance","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"dating (courtship)","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"movie theaters","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"phonographs","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"radio","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"taxicabs","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58594/file/132693#t=427.0,945.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58594/file/132693/index/52389/annotation/12","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Eaton's","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Keywords"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Jugendverein","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Keywords"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"WW II","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Keywords"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58594/file/132693#t=427.0,945.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58594/file/132693/index/52389/annotation/13","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Rationing during WW II","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Title"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58594/file/132693#t=945.0,1125.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58594/file/132693/index/52389/annotation/14","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Asked about her worst memory, Riediger cannot think about anything.
