User Comment:
I believe that this young girl is Liba K. Zelmanowicz, due to the fact, when entering her name into the database she was the only option and met the required age and school. According to the date of September 1941, Liba K. Zelmanowicz would have been 14 years old when signing the card. She did attend school as a student it seems, and the Ghetto adress was 26 Flat 92 Alexanderof Strasse. Also this young girl residency was in Lodz, in Poland, leaving the conclusion that this more likey is Liba.
Approver Comment:
I agree that you have found the most likely candidate to have signed the album as "Liba Zelmanowicz": in 1941, this Liba would have been 14 years old, an appropriate age to be attending school #5. Thank you for your excellent comment, see you in stage 2!
