User Comment:
Searching 'R*' and 'Michalska' under exact parameters, Raszka's was the only name that came up; in addition, her birthdate puts her in the appropriate age range for her school and to have signed the album.
Expert Reviewer Comment:
Thank you for adding research notes to this record!
Approver Comment:
I agree you have found the person who most likely signed this name in the album. In 1941 she would have been 8 years old, the right age to attend school #19A. Nice work!

User Comment:
I believe Szmul (b. 1908) and Chaja (b. 1907) are Raszla's parents. Their transportation date was September 12, 1942, which coincides with a deportation to Chelmno.
Expert Reviewer Comment:
Thank you for adding Chelmno as the place of death.
Approver Comment:
I agree. This deportation coincides with the Gehsperre Aktion, in which mainly young children and the elderly were deported to Chelmno. Thank you for helping to complete Raszla's record.
