User Comment:
We searched Ada Minc in the database and came up with nothing, so we searched A. Minc and came up with two entries for Adela Minc with the same birthday and the same information with the exception of their second ghetto address. We googled nicknames for Adela and found that Ada matched so we are assuming that this is her. We also know that she moved within the ghetto and her second ghetto address is on the same street but in one entry listed as a different number.
Approver Comment:
Very good research. I agree that you found the correct match. In addition, her occupation is listed as "schuelerin" (student).

User Comment:
We are making an assumption that Szajna Minc is Ada's mother due to her birth date and place of residence. Also we found a possible brother, Abram Chaim Minc, who was a weaver forman or Webermeister, and died on July 18th, 1944.
Approver Comment:
Good job! Adela, Icek, and Szajna all lived at P.O.W. 3, and moved to STEINMETZ 6 flat 5, and then to STEINMETZ 6 flat 10 on November 21, 1941. And you are also correct about the significance of their ages.
