User Comment:

When I searched for Izak Markowicz's name in the database, 4 students were matched with the same name. Three of them were born on February 5, 1931 and one of them was born on March 5, 1931. I focused my search on the 3 Izak Markowicz's who were born on February 5, 1931. Izak Markowicz was listed as being a student at School 20A, the 3 Izak Markowicz born February 5, 1931 would be the right age to attend this school. 

When I looked at their addresses they all had similar addresses. Each given address was a variation of Steinmetz 8A 3 Bal-Ring 3. It was hard for me to understand but I think the address translates to Steinmetzgasse (Street), Building 8A apartment 3. I am not sure what Bal-Ring 3 translates to. I might be wrong about what this address translates to, but this is as far as I could go.

Expert Reviewer Comment:
I agree that this is the student who signed the album. Thank you for your extensive research notes! As the birthday is only off by one month we can assume that all four records represent the same person. Please add all ghetto street addresses to the record. Bal translates to Baluter Ring. If you need help with German abbreviations to translate the information from the Notes field visit the community center and look for the "Tipsheet: What do all these German words and abbreviations mean?". See you on the next stages!
Approver Comment:
Please add March 5, 1931 as another possible date of birth, since we're pretty sure that both dates point to the same person.

The addresses should read as follows:
Steinmetzgasse 8A 3
Baluter Ring 3

Please correct both addresses and resubmit your research for approval.
