there are two Rachela Rotenbergs listed but the other is significantly older.

Approver Comments:

I agree that you have found a possible candidate for the Rachela Rotenberg who signed the album! As you suggest, this one is in the right age range to have been in school.

You might also want to look at Ruchla Rotenberg--again, several of her, but one was born in 1929, making her another possible candidate.

Again, please remember to use the comment field to let me and your classmates know about the process. Also, please move your comment about the "two Rachelas" down to the comment field, and use the "source" space to tell me where you found her birthdate. Thanks!

User Comments:

I found all the Rotenbergs that lived at 7 Nord Street all together their were six people. Rachela Rotenberg, Aron Rotenberg, Mojzesz Rotenberg, Symcha Rotenberg, Fajga Rotenberg and Abe Rotenberg. Rachela's ghetto address was Braune Gasse 3 Flat 2. Aron was listed twice once with this same ghetto address and once with the address Breite Gassa 3 Flat 1. This was the address listed for all the other Rotenbergs. It's possible that Rachela did not make it to this second address.

Approver Comments:

I agree that based on the birthdates and ages you have found the people who most likely were Rachela's parents. I would like you still to go back and check out Ruchla, but this is excellent work on this stage.
