User Comment:
Only one exact result came up in a search for Mendel Mass, and he was born in 1931, which made him the right age to have attended School #20A.
Approver Comment:
I agree. In 1941 he would have been 10 years old, the right age for school #20A. Best of luck in the next stages.

User Comment:
A few people lived at the same (or at least one) address as did Mendel. He lived with his father, Hersz (b. 1888), his mother, Chana (b. 1902), and his sister Dworja (b. 1926).
Chana only lived at the Franz address with the rest of the Masses, and not at the Langemarkt address (she instead lived at an address on Muhl).
While no deportation information or other information regarding fate is given for any of the other members of the Mass family, Mendel was deported on September 10, 1942, on which date there was a deportation to Chelmno.
Approver Comment:
I agree with your conclusions here. Mendel would have been deported as part of the Gehsperre Aktion, in which the very young and the elderly were deported to Chelmno. Thank you for helping to complete his record.
