User Comment:
A fuzzy search for 'K* Russek' turned up multiple results, but Kalman was the only one old/young enough to attend his school.
Approver Comment:
I agree you've found the student who most likely signed this name in the album, and agree with your reasoning. Thank you for your research!

User Comment:
I matched Kalman to his parents (no siblings) via matching addresses. He had a father (Symcha, b. 1898) and a mother (Gitla, nee Stolnikowicz, b. 1890). They were all deported on March 27, 1942, during the month of daily deportations to Chelmno.
Approver Comment:
Good job! I agree that you found Kalman's family. Due to their date of deportation we have to assume that they were killed in Chelmno.
