User Comment:
This was the person with the closest name to Moniek Magier and he fell within the right date of birth range.
Expert Reviewer Comment:
I agree that you've found the likeliest person to sign the albumn. Good work! Also note there is a Moszek-Chaim Mager born 17/2/1928. I'm guessing this is the same person due to the similar adresses.
Approver Comment:
I agree that Moszek and Moszek-Chaim are the same person, and that they are a likely candidate to have signed the album as Moniek. I'm also intrigued by Manfred Mager (b. 1931), whose name also contains similar sounds and who was born within the right age range for school #13b. What do you think?

We beleive that Aron Majer Mager is a younger brother of Moszek Mager because they both have the same last name and same address (Am Bach 27 19). Also, we found a woman named Mindla Mager, who also lived at Am Bach 27 19. She was born in 1904 (24 years before Moszek and 26 years before Aron). Therefore, we believe we have found the mother of both these children.
Since you confirmed Mindla Mager as the mother and we can't find any more information on Moszek, we have a theory that he might have been deported on the same date as Mindla. In her profile there was a ghetto note: AUSG 15.3.42 and we believe that she was deported to Chelmno because according to secondary sources, there were daily deportations to Chelmno during March 1942 and all were killed in gas vans. In your opinion, do you think it is possible that Moszek was with his mother during deportation in March 15?
Approver Comment:
Without a date on Moszek's profile, I can't confirm whether he was deported with his mother. It's an interesting thought, but families were often deported on separate transports. You can keep looking and tell me what else you find!
