Sophie/Zophia Hosch (b. 1893) could have been Irena's mother, as their addresses match up and by 1924 Sophie/Zophia would have been old enough to be her mother.

I agree that the name is the same. We don't yet have information linking Irena Hosch in the Sharit HaPlatah list to Irena in Lodz, but I will mark this as possible. I hope we are able to find more information linking them soon.
