User Comments:

I believe this is the student who signed the book because the spelling is exactly the same, and the birthday fits perfectly. Also, his occupation was schueler, which means student!

Approver Comments:
I agree this is the student who most likely signed this name in the album. In 1941 he would have been 12 years old, the right age to attend school #21b. Nice work!

I also noticed a Herman Uszerowicz, born in 1928, living at the same addresses as Harry--not sure if this is a reference to a sibling or another form of Harry's name (with a minor birthdate difference), but a name to keep an eye on. Good luck in the next stages!

I was able to find Harry's mother and brother because they shared the same addresses, transport date, and transport numbers.

I agree with your conclusions. You can use the secondary source materials to determine the destination of this transport.

User Comments:

Harry has a transport number associated with the date in his information, therefore it is safe to assume he was deported. Using the secondary sources, I found that daily deportations in March went to Chelmno, and all victims perished in the gas vans.

Thank you for helping to complete Harry's record. If you like, you may now complete a biography for him.
