Gender: boy
School:
School #21B
School #21 was a school in Lodz. The students in #21b were boys, and they attended classes in the afternoon. Most students were between 8 and 14 years old, meaning that they were born between 1927 and 1933.
School #21 was located at Ulica Wrzesnienska 34. The street name was changed to Königsberger Strasse when German occupation began in 1939. See
www.lodz-ghetto.com for a map of Ulica Wrzesnienska and the rest of the Lodz ghetto.

User Comment:
In searching for Moszek Argiewicz under fuzzy parameters, 4 results came up, but only Alter Mosze Argiewicz was born in the right birthdate range for his school and to have signed the album.
Expert Reviewer Comment:
I agree that you have found the student who most likely signed the album.
Approver Comment:
I also agree that you have found the right person to have signed this name in the album. It is possible that he signed his middle name rather than his first name. As you suggest, in 1941 he would have been 14 years old, the right age to attend school #21b.

User Comment:
I was able to find Alter Mosze's family through matching addresses in the database. His family members include Gerszon (b. 1890, a likely father); Rywka (b. 1900, a likely mother); and the following youth who are either likely siblings or cousins: Fajga (b. 1920), Hinda (b. 1923), Abram (b. 1925), Szmul (b. 1930), and Szajna (b. 1933).
All were deported on March 20, 1942, during the month of daily deportations to Chelmno. The exceptions are Gerszon and Szajna. Gerszon died on February 16 (according to hospital death records)/February 17 (according to his profile) 1942 of starvation. Szajna died on February 16 (according to hospital death records and her profile) 1942 of bronchopneumonia.
Expert Reviewer Comment:
I agree completely! Thank you for adding his family members to the record.
Approver Comment:
I agree that these are Alter's family members, and that a deportation on March 20, 1942 would have ended at Chelmno. Thank you for helping to complete Alter's record.
