Student Profile: Towa Simel

I agree that Tauba Symel is a identity for the Towa Simel who signed the School 9A album. What might be useful - for you and for other possible future researchers - would be to note in the comments field how you came upon this spelling in the source material, and why you think she is the right choice (since there is another similar name listed). I recommend that you look at the research being done on another student, Toba Simel, who appears on the student list just above Towa Simel. The person researching Toba has not yet determined with certainty the identity of that student, and has pursued research that applies to your Tauba Symel. So as you go forward, this may save you some time or give you further clues. I hope you will continue your research, which may in fact help sort out the identities of both students.

I agree that this is the most likely candidate to have signed this name in the album. In 1941 she would have been 10 years old, the right age to attend school #9A. Please follow your expert reviewer's advice and reach out to the researcher who worked on Toba Simel's entry--maybe you can put your heads together and try to figure out which girl might have signed which name.

In the future, please remember to leave a note on your process and how you decided that 1931 Tauba was a more likely candidate than 1934 Tauba. Thanks!
