I think this is the person who signed the album as Uszer Orbach. When researching this name I came upon two listings with all the same exact information. The two listings I believe are the same exact person. They both have the same name (same spelling), same birth date, same occupation (Schueler), and also the same addresses. The boy would be the right age to be in School # 13B. The only difference between the two listings of the boys was there was a note with the date of 18.8.42 which comes out to be August 18th, 1942. Now with this date it could mean a vary of things like his date of changed registration address, the date of his death, or the date of his deportation. I do not believe that this would be his transport number but I could be wrong. But one thing I do believe is that this is the right boy who signed the album as Uszer Orbach

I also agree this is the person who most likely signed this name in the album. Have you found out any more about what the August 1942 date might mean?

When looking up more information on Uszer I found his mother and father. His mother's name is Chawa Rywka Urbach. I know this is his mother because her birth date is January 19th, 1895 and also her addresses match Uszer Urbach's addresses. They also have the same note of a date (18.8.42). Uszer's father's name is Josek Ber Urbach and he was born on December 22nd, 1893. His addresses also match Uszer and Chawa. The only thing is that Josek died on June 25th, 1943 of Lungentuberkulose. I found out that his father's control number is 11500 and the medical record states Josek was born in Dzialoszyn. The only thing I still can not figure out when looking through the information is what 18.8.42 stands for. I looked in the secondary sources with the deportations and found no date matching. I am starting to think maybe this date is a change in address. I know that when looking through the information I am coming to a dead end and can not find any other information. Any suggestions would be wonderful.

Are you still looking under both Urbach and Orbach? There might be something of interest under another spelling of his last name.
