In this article we will try to formulate some considerations about the technique of analyzing oral history interviews and illustrate these considerations with a specific example. It is assumed that the result of the analysis should be some new knowledge compared to what has already been expressed by the informant in the interview. Accordingly, a retelling of what the informant (or several informants) said, at least with elements of generalization and even using scientific terminology, cannot be recognized in itself as the result of analysis - at least, of the type of analysis that is meant below. Of course, stories telling about the personal experience of the narrator can, in principle, be considered as a source of information of various kinds - specialists in different fields of knowledge (historians, psychologists, sociologists, linguists) will see different objects here.
