According to information from the Holocaust Encyclopedia:

In the fall of 1941 he was asked by the teacher to help out and draw the greeting page for the Rosh Ha'shana album for the Chairman of the Jewish Council, Mordechai Chaim Rumkowski. He remembers drawing the shadowed Stars of David.

A year later, during the Gehsperre Aktion, Chaim was hidden behind a huge wardrobe together with other people, including a young couple with a small baby. During the search of the building by the Germans, they all kept very quiet and the young parents kept a blanket over the baby's mouth. After the search was over they discovered that the baby was dead. The next day the couple gave themselves up for deportation.

After the schools were closed, Chaim worked in a metal workshop in the ghetto.

I searched for a work card, but was unable to find one listed for him.
