User Comments:

I think Szymon Infeld is a very good match for Sz. Ajnfeld. He lived at BRZEZIN 98 and Braune 82.

Approver Comments:
Nice job. I agree that Szymon Infeld appears to be the best match based on what information we have at the moment. However I can only mark this person as Possible because we have no way of knowing Sz. Ajnfeld's gender at this point in time which is a key point in confirming their identity. Keep up the good work in the next stages!
Stage 2: The Ghetto
Mother's Name:
Chaja Infeld
Lodz Ghetto Inhabitants
User Comments:

I found the following people living at BRAUNE GASSE 8 FLAT 1 and BRAUNE GASSE 8 FLAT 2.

  1. Chaja Infeld nee Rozenberg born 15/11/1911 and she previously lived at LITZMAN 3.
  2. Bajla Ruchla Infeld born 21/03/1914 and she also lived at BRZEZIN 98. She appears twice in the database and she was given as BRAUNE 8 FLAT 1.
  3. Rywka Mariemf Infeld born 27/07/1919 and she lived at Braune 8 Flat 1 and Brzezin 98. She appears twice also with the name Rywka Infeld and the same birthdate but with the address Braune 8 Flat 2 and Brzezin 98.
  4. Chil Majer Infeld born in 1888 and he died 16/07/1942 and he lived at Braune 8 Flat 1 and Brzezin 98.
  5. Liba Blima Infeld born in 1889 and she lived at Braune 8 Flat 1 and also Brzezin 98 and she appears twice as Liba Infeld and address Braune 8 Flat 2 and Brzezin 98.
  6. Bajla Infeld born 09/07/1939 and she lived at Braune 8 Flat 1 and Litzman 3. She appears again as Sara Bajla Infeld born 03/07/1939 and had the address Braune 8 Flat 2.
  7. The last name is Sura Infeld born 27/10/1923 and she lived at Braune 8 Flat 2 and Brzezin 98. She has a ghetto not A.G. 7.7.44.

I’m guessing that one of these women was his mother and the rest were his aunts. I think Chil and Liba were possibly his grandparents and Bajla (born 1939) and Sura (born 1923) were his cousins/sisters.

Approver Comments:
Excellent work finding all possibilities. Here's what I think:

-Two branches of this family lived at two different apartments before moving to Braunegasse. They include:
1. Chaja Rozenberg Infeld (b. 1911) and Bajla/Sara Bajla (b. 1939) at General-Litzmann-Strasse 33 (not in the ghetto)
2. Chil Majer (b. 1888), Liba Blima (b. 1889), Bajla Ruchla (b. 1914), Rywka Mariem (b. 1919), Sura (b. 1923) and Szymon (b. 1925) at Brzezinska 98 (Sulzfelderstrasse, a street in the ghetto)

So we still can't figure out what the relationships should be--what do you think? If we can track this family further, this might tell us a lot about how families moved throughout the ghetto and how they were moved into the ghetto originally.

I found on Yad Vashem under List of Polish citizens who perished in Dachau, 1939-1945 a Szymon Infeld born 07/021925 in Lodz, Poland and he died in Dachua on 19/03/1945. He arrived on September 1, 1944 and his prisoner number was 97904 and his wartime address was Brzezinskastr. Also note his comment 01-September-1944 V.Auschw. I'm not sure if that means he came from Auscwitz or not. I believe this is the aforementioned Szymon Infeld due to the same birthdates. I wasn't sure where to enter the information I found so I entered it into stage three.

Approver Comments:
This is amazing. The street address listed--Brzezinskastrasse--was even an address that had been related to Szymon in the database, so it is almost definite that this record refers to the Szymon discovered in stage 1. The abbreviation "v. Ausch." with the lowercase V likely does mean "from Auschwitz," since the German form, "von Auschwitz," would have been abbreviated in that manner. Thank you for your hard work in completing Szymon Infeld's record.
