After searching our students name through all of the data bases provided and running through all spellings that we know of for her name, we were unable to find any matching names, or anything close to a matching name. We were unable to find any results for possible concentration camps that she might have been sent to or any type of liberation documentations. We know that she was not sent to Chelmno, so she most likely survived until 1944. Since records of people were mixed and sometimes lost in translation, we have no idea of the fate of our student.

It sounds like you have been relatively thorough in your research. However, how do you know that she was not sent to Chelmno? While we have relatively complete records of the 7,000+ Lodz Jews deported to Chelmno in June/July 1944, we only have partial records of the 75,000+ there in 1942. So, you cannot rule out the possibility that Cerka was sent there in 1942.
