Jehoszuja moved from West Strasse 36 to Krauter Gasse 13 Flat 15. His occupation was "student."

I believe that he is the most likely match for "J. Widawski," even though there appear to be two other potentials.

Jakob (Jakub) Widawski is another possibility. He was born in 1921, which although it is possible he could have been in gymnasium at age 20, is less likely than someone born in 1924.

Another possibility is Jakob Pineles Widawski (born 1926); however, this person is listed in the Lodz Ghetto Database as being a female (though the name seems like a male to me).

After doing the search for J. Widawski I feel like there are too many possibilities and choices for the name to suggest that Jehoszuja is the best choice. While some of the names are not listed as students, their ages fit and some even have a transportation date listed that could lead to further research unlike the other J. Wildawskis that appear to hit a dead end. I would agree that maybe Jehoszuja is the best guess for this case, however, I feel that it is important to research the other options as well since there is no clear way to tell. Is it possible to create research profiles for more than one J. Widawski?
