User Comments:

Searching 'Pesia' and 'Weltfried' under fuzzy parameters, I came up with Pesa Laja Weltfrajd, whose birthdate put her in the right age range to have signed the album. Pesa and Pesia are not that different, and Weltfried and Weltfrajd sound similar in Polish pronunciations.

Approver Comments:
I agree you have found the person who most likely signed this name in the album. In 1941 she would have been 8 years old, the right age to attend school #4A. Nice work! Thank you as well for adding your research notes to this stage.

The family members I've found all had the same addrss as Pesa. This includes a father (Alter, b. 1902), mother (Raca, b. 1902), and siblings Juev(?) (b. 1925), Dyna (b. 1927), and Rachmil (b. 1934). 

They were all deported on the same date (except Juev(?), who has a death date (from unknown causes) listed as May 10, 1942). That date is September 11, 1942, on which date there was a deportation to Chelmno.

Approver Comments:
I agree that a deportation in early September 1942 would have been part of the Gehsperre Aktion, and would thus have gone to Chelmno. Thank you for completing Pesa's record.
