User Comment:
Again, due to not enough information to find out our last search of A. Ajzenberg. We started new research on M. Zoraw, and we belive that Mieczyslaw Zoraw is the student who signed for M. Zoraw. The information that we have gotten to make this perdiction is from Gymnasium and high school for boys (1921-1927), also Mieczyslaw was the only male that fit into the age group for this school. With this information we also want to know if the numbers in the ghetto note (AG 23.6.44) are the date that he got transfer to Chelmno.
Approver Comment:
You'll also find a record of him as "Mieczyslaw Zuraw" (and a Motel Zuraw, who I think might also be a possibility, b. 1927 as well but different information, so likely not the same person). Take another look and see what else you find! (You might be right with Mieczyslaw, but you at least should put in the other spelling of his last name so we know. Thanks!)
User Comment:
Adding to the information for M. Zoraw I entered in Mieczyslaw's addresses as well as added in the information provided with his surname spelled ZUROW. I then entered in Motel Zurow born 1927 and living at Hohens 74 flat 25 and Hohens 74 and a change of address/Deportation date of 20/01/1943.

User Comment:
We believe that Mieczyslaw was deported to Chlelmno, Poland. We also believe that Zoraw was deported on June 23,1944. We think this because after doing research June 23 wasthe first of the ten transportations before the camp was liquidated. Also, to back this up in Mieczyslaw Zoraw idenity his ghetto note stated AG 23.6.44 so we think that this was Zoraw being transported to Chelmno in June of 1944.
Approver Comment:
I agree with your reasoning and appreciate your thorough explanation. Thanks!
--
I agree that based on the date of deportation, Chelmno is the most likely place of deportation. However, you did not find the information about the date in the secondary sources; as soon as you list the database as your source for that information, I'll be able to mark this stage at least as possible. Thanks!

I found Motel's family as Lejwi born 19/08/1897 and Bajla nee Goldberg born 22/01/1896 and Hersz Jankie born 1923. I couldn't find anymore information on the "ABG 20 Jan 1943 A.G" date.
I found Mieczyslaw's parents under the volume 5 database as Gerszon Josef born 21 Jul 1901 and Gitla born 18 July 1894. I also found him under the work cards living at Cranachstrasse 25 flat 30a and working at Matrosengasse 20 Küchen-Abteilung (Kitchen Department) and he started working at Leder- und Sattler-Abt. 62 on 05-Apr-1944. His worker number was 55408 and it says Transport 76 23-Jun-1944. Business Enterprise is given erroneously as #45. Photo looks like that of a female.
According to the secondary sources more than 560 people were departed to Chelmno on 23 June 1944 and Transport I was killed in the Gas Vans.
