User Comment:
I couldn't find any results for Benjamin Grass but I did find two boys named Benjamin GROSS.
The frist Benjamin was born in 1928 and he lived at REIGER 13 flat 11 and POLUDNIO 38. The second Benjamin I found was born on 30 July 1928 and he lived at Sattler 24 flat 4.
Both boys were born between the correct years 1926 and 1932.

I agree that this is the closest match in the database, and agree with your reasoning. Good luck on the next stages!

User Comment:
Benjamin Gross (Reiger address) died in the Lodz ghetto on 20 July 1942 from Lungentuberkulose and it says he was born in Zd.-Wola and I believe this is Zduńska Wola, Poland. I found his father as Berek Gross born 1902 and died on day after his son on 21 July 1942. His mother was Marjem born 1900, and his siblings/cousins were Moszek born 1928 (possibly his cousin due to the same birth years) and Symcha born 1929.
For Benjamin Gross (Sattler address) I found a number of people living at his address. I believe his father was Mojsze born 14/12/1902, his mother was Hinda born 10/03/1902, his siblings as Szlama born 24/04/1924, Zosia born 30/10/1929, Zlata born 05/12/1932, Szmul born 10/12/1934, Jossek born 15/12/1936, and Natan born 20/10/1939. I looked through the other stages and didnt find anymore on Benjamin or his family.

I completely agree with your findings. Lungentuberkolose is the German word for tuberculosis. Thank you for adding this information to the record!
