User Comment:

For Malka Kusmirek I found Malka Kuszmirak born 12/03/1928 and she lived at Hohens 38 and Pfeffer 15 flat 33. She fits the age range for School #10B.

Approver Comment:
I agree this is a likely candidate to have signed the album. As you suggest, in 1941 she would have been 13 years old, the right age to attend school #10b. Also check out Mala Kusmirak, born in November 1929.

Since her occupation is listed as "Strickerin," definitely look for Malka in the labor cards and see if you can find anything. Great work!

User Comment:

I found what appears to be two families living at Pfeffer 15 Flat 33.

1.) Lajb Abram Kuszmirak born 28/10/1929 lived at Pfeffer 15 33 as well as Hohens 38.

2.) Hendel Kuszmirak born 14/01/1906 and lived at Pfeffer 15 33 as well as Hohens 38.

3.) Hersz born 20/04/1899 and he lived at Pfeffer 15 33 and Freiheitsplatz 6.

4.) Stera Kuszmirek born 20/04/1899 and she lived at Pfeffer 15 33 and Wolnosei 6.

5.) Alka Kuszmirek born 12/03/1928 and she lived at Pfeffer 15 33 as well as Zgieska 38.

6.) Bram Lajb born 28/10/1929 and he lived Pffefer 15 33 and Zgieska 38.

Then I found a Endel Kuszmirek born 14/01/1906 and he lived at Pfeffer 15 33 as well as Sgieska 38. I'm guessing that Hendel and Endel are the same person as well as Lajb Abram and Bram Lajb due to the similarites in their names as well as their birthdates. I'm just not sure how to figure out who Malka's family was (I know that they all must of been related but how?)

I'm thinking that Hendel/Endel was her father because the both share the same addresses. I looked through the Lodz Ghetto Labor Cards but didn't see Malka anywhere.

Approver Comment:
Hard to say who was related to whom, and how, but I agree with the people you say are the same person, and thank you for adding all of the possible family members. I look forward to seeing what else you discover about this family.
