Student Profile: Cypora Morgensztern

Cypora Fela Morgensztern was born 01/07/1926 and she lived at Hanseatenstrasse, 34, 2, Holzstrasse, 36, 9, and Holzstrasse, 14, 9. She moved on 12.6.44 to Holz 14 and also moved on 28.7.42 HOLZ 36. She also appears as FELA CYPOJRA MORGENSZTERN with all the same aforementioned information.

Cypora wasn't the student to sign the album due to the fact that she was from Pabjanice/Pabianice, Poland. I did some research and found the following information about Pabianice; In February 1942 the Germans carried out a medical examination of all the Jews in Pabianice of 10 years of age and older. The able-bodied were stamped "A," while the elderly and sick were marked "B." The liquidation of the ghetto took place on May 16, 1942. Some 3,500 Jews in the "A" category and a few children were sent to the *Lodz ghetto. The 150 patients in the hospital were murdered on the spot, 180 tailors were detained in Pabianice to finish the work they had started, while the rest of the Jewish population – the "B" category – were sent to their deaths in the *Chelmno camp. After the liquidation of the ghetto, some 250 Pabianice Jews were employed in the large storehouse located nearby in Dombrowa where the clothing of the murdered Jewish population of western Poland (Warthegau) was processed, sorted, and repaired.

If Cypora didn't arrive in the Lodz, Ghetto until after May 1942 then she couldn't signed the album.
