Address is Sulzf 62 1A.

I believe 'H. Obersztajn' is actually Herszel Obersztejn becase there is just a slight mismatch in the name spelling and the date of birth fits in with the gymnasium and high school for boys.

Approver Comments:

I agree that you have found the person who signed the album as H. Obersztajn! In 1941, he would have been 16 years old, an appropriate age to be attending gymnasium. Great work, and an excellent comment on your process! See you in stage 2.

I agree. What other information does this record tell us? What do we know didn't happen to him based on when he died?
