User Comments:

We know Estera was deported to Chelmno because we were given to the date and transport number of her deportation in Lodz Ghetto Inhabitants Database. When I compared the date to secondary sources I found all transports went to Chelmno.

When looking for family members we found several possible family members who lived in either the same building or the same appartment. Some were even transported on the same day and the same transport. However, we have yet to find definitive information prooving who Estera's parents were. The following are the suspected relatives we found:

JAKOB ZIELONKA (possible sibling)

There are two Jakob (or Jakub), their names are spelt differently, but they are only born a year apart. We think there may have been a recording error and they are acually the same person.

SURA ZIELONKA
