User Comments:

Kasreil was in the Lodz ghetto. His ghetto was captured by the Germans and was renamed Litzmannstadt on September 8, 1939.

Approver Comments:

A note on the history: Lodz was (and is) a city in Poland where Jews and non-Jews lived together before the Second World War. When the German army invaded Poland, Lodz was among the cities they captured. The Nazis and their collaborators established a ghetto in the city of Lodz where Jews were separated from non-Jews in February 1940. Kasreil did not live in a ghetto prior to 1940; he lived in a city.

Can you tell me any information about how you decided Kasreil is the one who signed the album, since all the students on this site were in Lodz?
