According to the Lodz Ghetto database, Hersz shared a residence with 4 women (each is listed twice). Gitla (1898) is whom I believe to be Hersz' mother. Ita (1922), Rywka (1920), and Chaja (1922) are his sisters (I believe based on their dates of birth). Gitla, Hersz, Ita, Rywka all share the same deportation date of 09.11.1943. According to secondary sources, a transport arrived on November 8,1943 at Auschwitz and a transport arrived on November 17, 1943 at Auschwitz. His exact transport number is not listed, nor is his precise date of arrival at Auschwitz (I believe that it is the November 17, 1943 date of arrival-only 3 Lodz jews were registered into the camp that day). The trail stops cold with Hersz there, though. I believe he may have been gassed upon arrival at Auschwitz. I will continue to look for anything that may be contrary to that, though.
