User Comment:
I believe that this is the student who signed the book because his information was provided by ancestry.com and the age is appropriate
Approver Comment:
Note that Ancestry and the Holocaust Museum use the same set of data, so simply finding a name and information on ancestry.com is not sufficient to determine the information is valid--but telling us about the date of birth helps us to determine that he would have been the right age to attend school #13A in 1941.
Note as well that his address on Hohensteinstrasse is listed with an "A.M." note, suggesting that this is where he lived before and immediately after the creation of the ghetto.
Good luck in the next stages!
