Although Szymon signed his name in the album as "Szymon Dancigier", there is no matching name under "Dancigier" that fits the years between which Szymon was born. Looking under Dancyger, however, there was a match born in 1930 that would be the most logical fit for Szymon.
I have looked through all the individuals from the Lodz Ghetto under the last name "Dancyger" (and even "Dancigier") and believe that I have found three of Szymon's family members. They all share the same address and transport number, and the years of their birth match up relatively well. I could not find much more information on them, however, even after searching through the labor cards for both parents.
I speculate that the Dancyger family was transported in May of 1942, due to the AUSG TR 5 under the notes section. Since there were transports to Chelmno from May 4 to May 15, and a transport to Auschwitz on May 14, I wanted to investigate both. I looked through the Auschwitz records, however, and did not come across any of the Dancygers I was researching. This is why I believe they were deported to Chelmno altogether.

We know that he was deported to the ghetto, but TR 5 does not imply May, just transport #5. Please correct the deportation information.
