User Comments:

Using the DM Soundex tool, I was able to connect the last name Feferman to an Ela Paperman, who was born in 1932 (the right age for her school.) No other results that came up came with an exact first name match.

Approver Comments:

I agree that this is the best match for this name. The Yiddish/Hebrew characters for P and F are almost identical, so it is likely that this is indeed the person who signed this name in the album. Have you found any other information in the next stages?

User Comments:

Much of this information was obtained from Ela Paperman's work identification card, although some of the information differed slightly (off by a year or by a couple of days) from the information in the Lodz Ghetto identification database.

According to Ela Paperman's Lodz Ghetto inhabitants record, she died on May 30th, 1944, although the reason is not given.

I believe I have found a possible father (Abram, b. 1904), mother (Jochewet, b. 1894), and sibling (Hala, b. 1936) for Ela. All lived at the same two addresses as Ela.

Approver Comments:

Thank you for adding this information to her record. It is sad that she survived so long and outlasted many of the major deportations, only to die in the ghetto in the spring of 1944. Thank you for helping to complete Ela's record.
