Searching the Lodz Ghetto Inhabitants Database I found in the notes AUSG 20.3.42 which is a deportation date, to Chelmno. There is also a transfer number of 34/2. Looking through the advanced search I used the Fuzzy and DM soundex options to get a wider range of entries but using both "Gerszon Dorembus" and "G Dorembus" did not provide any other entries. Looking through the Labor Cards there was a "Brandla Dorembus" born 18.1.1923 but there were no similar names to Gerszon Dorembus. In the Secondary Source I searched for the deportation dates of 20.03.1942 and found that "Between January and May 1942, more than 54,000 Lodz Jews were killed at Chelmno." This could have been his fate but there is not enough information to be positive. The transports to Auschwitz were later that same year between May and July. Searching through the Auschwitz Prisoner List there were no last names matching Dorembus or names matching Gerszon Dorembus. Using the Advanced Search and only inserting Dorembus with the DM Soundex and Fuzzy option I found only three entries two from the same person, Maria Dorembus and a Tauba but there were no Gerszons. Even entering his book listed name, Doremfus, did not attain a different match than was already found. Looking through the Catalogue of Oral History Arhives there were no matches for a Dorembus as an author and the closest name was "Dorfman." With an Advanced Google search there were many results but none that had both the first and last name together and was not from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. There was also no new information using the Postwar Lists of Survivors. With ancestry.com there were two results when inputting Gerszon Dorembus but neither were the correct person. The birth year narrowed the search but then provided me with no results.

In March 1942, there were daily deportations to Chelmno. You may list Chelmno as his "camp deported to" and "place of death," listing the secondary sources as your source for both.
Did Maria or Tauba live at the same address as Gerszon? If so, they might be family members, and you can list them on this stage.
