I have checked the available secondary sources, the Auschwitz memorial site, as well as the USHMM database for both Lejzor Jachalowicz as well as Luzer Jacholowicz and can't seem to find anything beyond the initial information that is given about the students general identity. This is my first attempt at searching for information aside from the students general identity, do the moderators or other users have any tips as far as other ways to spell the name or possible third party sites I could use for information? I am a little hesitant to use Google because I'm afraid to get the wrong information. Thank you!

As a general rule, it is okay to use outside sources (including a Google search) as long as you find information in a reputable source and are able to explain why you think the data is reliable and accurate.

BTW -- I found that the following search in the USHMM's Holocaust Survivors and Victims Database provided additional data:

LAST NAME - Jocholowicz (fuzzy)
FIRST NAME - L* (exact)
BIRTH DATE - 1928 (+- 5 yrs)

Among other things, the Lodz Ghetto - Volume 5 database had a different (misspelling) of Luzer's name. Here's the record.

LUZER JOCHDOWICZ

Sex:Male
Date of Birth: 27 Dec 1927
Occupation: Schueler
Ghetto Address: Tal 32 54
Notes: Hanseat 70
