User Comment:
Although the Student List does not supply a first name, I came across a boy who would be in the age ranges of 14-20 as specified in his information. Seeing as Dawid birthday is 27 Nov 1933, this makes him elligible to be him. I also searched the Lodz Ghetto cemetary for matches of the name and I found a Dawid Engel who died on 16 Nov 1940. The other information is states that his fathers name was Chil and his original Hebrew name was Dawid ben Shaul.
Expert Reviewer Comment:
Hello, and thanks for initiating research about the male student of School 13A named Engel. You are right that the absence of a first name does create challenges. And Dawid Engel does fit the birth date profile for that school. Did you stop at Dawid because he seemed like a good fit? Or did you look at other possible candidates and think that Dawid was a better fit? Please take some more time to look through all of the search results for Engel, and then write in your comments about the reasons for the choice or choices you have made.
Approver Comment:
Please be sure to look through all the Engel records, as your expert reviewer suggests. If Dawid died in 1940, he would not have been alive to sign the album in September 1941.
