I am fairly sure this is him, but because there was no occupation under his profile in the source, I was not 100% sure. However his birthday matches the time frame of 1921-27. Additional notes enclude two addresses, "KREUZ 12 11" and "MITTEL 76". Additionally I found a Ghetto Note that read "AUSG 22.6.42" which means he was deported to Chelmno June 22nd 1942. What I did find interesting when I moved into the second stage and recieved access to the second source, was that there were no deportations to Chelmno during the summer, and that most of the Jews were sent in January, according to the source. From looking through this source further I found that 620 male Jews were sent to Poznan/Posen camps in June of 1942. This matches well with this boy since he would have been 18 years old and perfect for a labor force.

Have you talked to Marco? He started this same record last week, and you've both found the same person--who I'm pretty sure is the person who signed the album. Check out what he found on Mosze's page; I'd be interested to see how you respond to one another's research.
I suspect you're correct in saying that Mosze was sent to Poznan, rather than Chelmno, in June 1942. While the database does say that "AUSG" always refers to deportation to Chelmno, I'm not so sure that this is the case, and you've pretty clearly found an example that is an exception to this rule. When you do see a record that says "AUSG," "A.G.," or anything else that looks like an abbreviation for "Ausgegangen," do exactly what you just did--don't assume that it was a deportation to Chelmno unless you have a transport number that you can trace back or unless it's during a period (January or September 1942, for instance)where we know of transports that went to Chelmno. Thanks for your thoroughness in checking the secondary sources to be sure!
Before you say for certain that Mosze wound up in Poznan, make sure you can verify it against another source. This will probably come up in Stages 2 and 3, so bring some of your comment from this stage with you when you reach that stage, and see what your classmates have to say.
I'm going to mark this stage as "Possible," and I'm excited to see what else you find out!
