User Comment:
There were two records that matched this name: Masza Chaja and Mina Chaja, both born in the same year and living at the same address. I deduced that these were the same person and that Mina was a nickname for Masza.
Expert Reviewer Comment:
It is possible you found the person who signed the album although one record in the database indicates that her occupation was Schneiderin and not Schuelerin.
Approver Comment:
I agree that you have found the person who signed this name in the album. Please remember to look for both names in the next stages.

Masza's record indicates a deportation on May 4, 1942. According to the Secondary Source list, there was a transport to Chelmno on that day, and I concluded that Masza was deported to Chelmno.
Approver Comment:
I agree with your reading of the secondary sources. Thank you for helping to complete Masza/Mina's record. If you like, you may now complete a biography for her.
