User Comments:

Searching for 'Hantkam' under fuzzy parameters, I came up with Zelda Handkam, who was born in a year appropriate for her school and for her to have signed the album.

Approver Comments:

I agree you have found the student who most likely signed this name in the album. In 1941 she would have been 9 years old, the right age to attend school #19a. Nice work! Thank you for adding your research notes to this stage.

User Comments:

Moszek (b. 1901) and Ruda (b. 1906) are likely Zelda's parents, and Hana (b. 1929) and Abram (b. 1935) her siblings. This family was deported on February 24, 1942, which coincides with a deportation to Chelmno.
