Summary/Abstract: The life story is one of the forms of researching the recent past. Many sciences use this type of investigation to study the past and to reveal some social and psychological aspects, and even elements in the domain of narratology. The studied text is an interview with a pediatrician who, after deportation to Transnistria, has managed to overcome the obstacles imposed by the unfavorable times she lived in and, when aged 85 (in 2008), was able to tell the tragic events she went through.
