The interview with Julia Mahoney Russo begins at 00:53:50. Her daughter, Arcadia (Russo) McDermott, is also heard in the interview. The interviewee is not identified during the interview, therefore clues from the interview, combined with genealogical research conducted by Leslie Anne Roby Ervin, is how the interviewee's identity was derived.

The interviewee uses language that could be interpreted as anti-Semitic and perpetuating a stereotype of a historically marginalized group. The presence of sensitive or offensive material in this interview is not endorsed or approved by Santa Barbara Historical Museum (SBHM). SBHM recognizes and regrets the culturally sensitive nature of this material. However, as indicated by the Society of American Archivists and the American Library Association, removing offensive material is, de facto, an alteration of the archival record and would constitute willfully destroying records to conceal facts or distort evidence. As such, the material in the archive remains as a historical record. SBHM is committed to transparency, reconciliation, and education.
