User Comment:
When we researched Estera Rodawska we came across Ester Rudowska who was born in 1932 which fits the requirement for school #4A where Estera went, which says the students were born between 1929 and 1934 therefore we have assumed that there was a spelling mixup in the name and these are the same person.
In Ester's provided information it states that she was A.M. or Alter Mieter, meaning that her and her family were living in Lodz before it was turned into a ghetto.
Approver Comment:
I agree you've found the person who signed this name in the album. The names are similar enough that these records likely refer to the same person--Ester and Estera are analogues of one another--and in 1941, she would have been 9 years old, just the right age for school #4A. Please use the drop-down list of street names to select Mühlgasse as the name of the street where she lived.
A quick note on AM: not only does it mean she lived in Lodz before the ghetto, we also know that she lived at the same address before it was a ghetto, too.
