School #1
School #1 was a religious school for boys in Lodz. Most students at School #1 in September 1941 were between 9 and 15 years old, meaning that they were born between 1926 and 1932.
School #1 was located at Goplánska 26. The street name was changed to Buchbinderstrasse when German occupation began in 1939. See

User Comment:
We agree that Awigdor Urbach is a closer match than Azek Orbach because the DOB matches school #1. Two results appeared when we searched Awigdor Urbach. We beleive they are the same person because the names are spelled the same and also they share a similar street address (Tal).
Approver Comment:
I also agree that Awigdor Urbach is a likely candidate to have signed this name in the album, and that both records point to the same person. I look forward to seeing what you uncover in the next stages!

User Comment:
Yes, I agree. After a second look I believe that Wiktor and Awigdor are the same person. I removed him from the brother section. In regards to deportation and transports, I researched both the mother and father for clues of a change of address or deportation but found nothing. As a result, we've hit a dead end--do you have any suggestions?
Expert Reviewer Comment:
I agree with your family relations! Have you found anything about deportation or transports? Keep up the great work, and I cannot wait to see what you find!
Approver Comment:
You can actually go back to the beginning. Is there anyone (whose first name begins with any letter) whose nickname might be Arie? I know that it's frustrating to change direction so late in the game, but I think we've stumbled upon a new train of thought if we know that Awigdor went by Wiktor rather than Arie--or maybe he went by both?
