User Comment:
A search for 'H* Karpinski' turned up 4 results, of which only Hirsz was born in the right birth year range that would have allowed him to attend school #20A.
Approver Comment:
I agree this is the only male who would have been the right age in 1941 to attend school #20a.

User Comment:
I matched Hirsz to his family using matching addresses. Hirsz lived with his father, Chaim (b. 1890), his mother, Ruchla (b. 1902), and his siblings Czeslawa (b. 1924) and Debora (b. 1925).
Ruchla, Czeslawa, and Debora all don't have deportation information listed with them. Chaim either moved or was deported (not clear from the note) on May 25, 1941. Hirsz was deported on September 10, 1942, on which date there was a deportation to Chelmno.
Approver Comment:
I agree with your conclusions. He would have been deported during the Gehsperre Aktion, which sent the oldest and youngest residents of the ghetto to Chelmno. Thank you for helping complete Hirsz' record.
