First we searched her given name and got no results. Then we did a sounds like search, and got one result. This was Gela Miskulowska, however he date of birth was not in the 1926-1931 range. She was born in 1885 which puts her at a probable age to be our girls' mother. When we searched just the surname we found a Chaja who was born in 1930. She was the only one who fit into the date range and Chaja seems like it could have been easily change dto Hela, or it could have been a nick name.                                    Next we look at her address and saw that she moved from Altermieter to Reiger 18 and flat number 2. The date was not specified. The ghetto note says she was transported on the 28th of march in 1924. However We think the dates were transposed because in 1942 of March there were daily transports to Chelmo. So we think the actual date is in 1942 and Chaja went to Chelmo and had the unfortunate fate of the death camp.

 

Approver Comments:
I agree this is probably the person who signed the album. You're right that there would be no reason to have a deportation date in 1924! I agree that it should read 1942; remember in the second stage to cite the secondary sources as your reference for why you believe she was sent to Chelmno.

I hope we can solve this mystery!
