Student Profile: M. Wymeszberg

By searching the database under the exact setting for the first initial of "M" and the fuzzy setting for the last name of "Wymeszberg," I was able to find 2 (of the 5) entries that I believe belong to the same boy. This boy (Moszek Lajb Wimerszberg) was the suitable match that I could find in the database for a child attending Scool #20B. Moszek Lajb's first entry has him listed as having a date of birth of October 6, 1930. This entry has his addresses listed as Siegfried 63 6 and Insel 43. Under this entry, there is a deportation date of March 15, 1942. The second entry for Moszek Lajb has his date of November 6, 1930. His addresses are listed as Insel 43 1 and Danziger 8. His notes indicate a moving date of July 13, 1941 to the Siegfried address from the previous entry. Both entries have Moszek Lajb listed as a Schueler.

Nice work! Thank you for your excellent and thorough process note. I look forward to seeing what you've found in the next stages.

I searched the database for the exact spelling of the last name of "Wimerszberg" and several entries for individuals that shared the same addresses as Moszek Lajb were returned. All of the individuals (barring Rywka) had 2 entries listed for them.  Matel Abram (or Motel Abram as was his second listing) was born on September 20, 1891 in Zarnow, Poland. He is the oldest male listed as having resided with Moszek, and I believe that he was Moszek's father. Rywka was born on November 14, 1988 and she is the oldest female listed as having resided in the Wimerszberg home. I believe that she is Moszek's mother. Cerla (born March 10, 1928) and Fajga Branja (born April 15, 1920) were the other 2 children listed at the residences, and I believe that they were Moszek's sisters. The family shares a universal moving date of July 13, 1941. It is on this date that they moved to Siegfried Strasse 63 6.According to jewishge.org, Rywka passed away inside the Lodz Ghetto on June 6, 1941.  Cerla Wimerszberg passed away in the Ghetto on February 9, 1942. Fajga passed away 2 days later on February 11, 1942. Matel passed away as well in February of 1942. By looking at the hospital records, Cerla and Matel are listed as passing from an unknown reason. Fajga and Rywka have no listing under the hospital death notes. Moszek was the only surviving individual in his family at that point, and was eventually transported on March 15, 1942 during daily deportations. According to secondary sources, he would have been transported to Chelmno where he would have perished in the gas vans.

Very nice work. Thank you for helping to complete Moszek's record.
