User Comment:
I believe that this is Nina Bachar, when I searched the Lodz Ghetto Inhabitants database witha fuzzy saerch of initials B. and N. this is the only name that is similar to Nina Bachar both in sound and in length. Also, the occupation is listed as shulelerin and the date of bith fits the timeline. Finally there is a date listed as 12.9.42 that means she was either deported or changed address allowing us to establish that she was still alive when the book was made.
Expert Reviewer Comment:
I do believe that this is the student who signed the book! Because the A.G. is followed just by a date and no transport number, and also the fact that there are two addresses listed, I think it is safe to assume that the date is when Nana moved. You can go ahead and add that date to the change of address section.
Good luck in the next section, I hope you are able to find some of Nana's family members!

I agree that this is the most likely candidate to have signed the album--nice work deducing her from the other names that appear in the search results.
While A.G. is a fuzzy appellation--can we ever be certain whether it means a move or a deportation?--September 12, 1942 was right at the end of the Gehsperre Aktion, a major deportation of ghetto residents, particularly the very young and very old, to Chelmno. This makes me think we might, unfortunately, be looking at a deportation date rather than a move, but let's keep our eyes open in the next stages to see what other evidence we can find.

This is either a change of address or a deportation date. Can you find anything in the next stages?
