User Comment:
Estera Calka appears to have moved from Siegfried Strasse 86 Flat 9 to Insel Strasse 29 Flat 10 in the ghetto on April 14, 1942. And I think she was registered at that residence on April 19, 1942.
Before the ghetto, Estera Calka lived at Buschlinie 49 in Lodz, Poland.
Approver Comment:
I agree with your reading of Estera Calka's movements. Note that we find several different spellings of her name, all with the same date of birth: Ester Brandel Calka (listed with the change of address date), Ester Brandla Calka (addresses without a change or registration date), and Estera Brandel Calka (listed with the registration date). Please enter these spellings of her name into the appropriate field as well. I look forward to seeing what else you can uncover about her!
User Comment:
Her residential address was Siegfried Strasse 86.
She is a female.
Approver Comment:
Was that her only address, or did she move again once she was in the ghetto (and if so, when)?
