User Comments:

the birthdate for Josek Tiger would put him in the correct age group for school #5.

 SULZF 84 7 is listed as the ghetto adress for both Josek Tiger and Josek Tieger, they also have the same birthdate.

WYM 13.11.41 MATROSEN is listed under ghetto notes for Josek Tiger meaning that there was a change of registration to a new adress MATROSEN on November 13, 1941; Josek Diger has the adress MATROSEN 81 listen and they too have the same birthdate.

other adresses listed for Josek are RUBENS 7 30 for Diger and POMORSKA 33 for Tiger.

Josek Diger was deported on March 15, 1942 with transport number 37.

Approver Comments:
Excellent work! Go ahead and move on to the next stages.

I agree that you have found the student who signed the album; as you suggest, in 1941 Josek would have been 12 years old, an appropriate age for attending school #5.

Something to watch for: I searched for the last name "Tiger" with the "sounds-like" box checked, and discovered a Josek Tieger and Josek Diger, both with the same birthdate and matching addresses to Josek Tiger. This indicates that all records describe the same person, just with different spellings (perhaps due to mishearing answers during an oral inquiry or transcription issues between Hebrew and Roman characters). What I'd like you to do is to look again in the database, enter these alternate spellings into the name field, and list all of the addresses in the comment box. During the next stages, keep an eye out for all three: Tiger, Tieger, and Diger.

Thanks!
