User Comment:
While there is another Chaim Cytryn born in 1925 (also a student), this Chaim seems a better fit given the birthdate of 1929.
Approver Comment:
I agree that you have found the student who most likely signed this name in the album. 1925 Chaim is only one year off the predicted oldest year of birth for this school, so I would not count him out entirely. Moreover, another Chaim Cytryn signed the album as a member of school #20a, whose students were born between 1928 and 1933, so I wonder if 1929 Chaim signed that name instead.
I'm going to mark your research as possible until we know more. Thank you for being very thorough in listing all the addresses. Nice work!

I agree that this is the date on which Chaim moved to the Gansestrasse address. Is there any other information you can find about Chaim or potential family members?
