User Comment:
I searched the database under the exact setting for the first and last name, and it returned the name of one little girl named Szprynca Lichtensztajn. Her date of birth (July 10, 1931) fits into the age range for having attened School #8A at the time of the album signing. I also double checked for any other possible children by searching under the fuzzy settings for first and last name, but no other names were returned.There is no occupation listed, but there is a deportation date of March 15,1942 listed in her notes.
Approver Comment:
I agree you've found the student who signed this name in the album, and agree with your reasoning. Good job!

I searched through the database and was unable to locate any individuals that shared the same exact address as Szprynca. There were several that were similar, but none that were spot on. Based on the transport date that was listed in her notes and secondary sources, she was likely deported to Chelmno during daily transports in March of 1942 where she perished in the gas vans.
Approver Comment:
I agree! Given the deportation date we have to assume that she was killed in Chelmno. Thank you for your research!
