User Comment:
Using the 'fuzzy' label in the search tool, I was able to connect Miriam Szajnbajn to a Mirjam Szajnbajn, born in 1932--the right age to have attended school #4A.

Nice work! I agree that you have found the student who signed the album. In the future, please leave a note for your fellow researchers letting them know how you determined this was the right person. Good luck in the next stages!

I agree that this is the person who most likely signed this name in the album.

User Comment:
According to the Secondary Source list, there were daily deportations to Chelmno during March 1942, the date during which Mirjam was deported.
Chana (b. 1905), fits the time frame to be Mirjam's mother (her occupation was even 'housewife'). In addition, they lived at the same address and were deported on the same date.
Expert Reviewer Comment:
Nice work! I agree that you have found Mirjam's mother. Did you find anything beyond their deportation?
Approver Comment:
Thank you for adding this information to Mirjam's record. You may list Chelmno as the place of death; it is unlikely she survived once deported there.
