User Comments:

I believe Irka Markowicz is I. Markowicz beacuse she is the only female with these initials born within the same time frame of the girls born who attended School #8A. There are three ghetto addresses listed: KRAMER 1, KONIGSB 47, and ABG 7.9.42 TAL 32.

Approver Comments:
I also agree that this is the person who signed this name in the album. Please list the date of her move in the appropriate field on the next stage.

User Comments:

I believe Irka Markowicz was tranferred from Lodz to Chelmno because ABG 7.9.42 is listed under her 'Notes'section of The Holocaust Survivors and Victims Database and the date, September 7, 1942, coincides with the dates victims were tranferred from Lodz to Chelmno. I also assume that Irka died on this date because according to Secondary Sources those transferred to Chelmno were killed in gas vans.

Approver Comments:
I agree that this is a possible deportation date, but we can't know for sure--as was noted on the first stage, this might just refer to a move within the ghetto between apartments. Have you been able to find any information on her in the next stages, so we know whether or not she was deported in September 1942?
