Thank you for reentering her date of birth! As soon as you remove the "R. Laska" from the "name" field, you're free to move on to the next stage. Looking forward to seeing what you find out!

----

I agree that you have found the "R. Laska" who is most likely to have signed the album. If you could move your comment from the "discussion forum" to the comment box on the stage "Identity," that would help me to evaluate your research process.

In the future, when you find a name of a student who only signed with a first initial, it is unnecessary to add the first initial and last name in the "name" field; the given name you find for the student who most likely signed the album will suffice.

Unfortunately, you entered her date of birth incorrectly: it appears as the 10th day of a 26th month instead of October 26th. As soon as you fix the date of birth and add your comment to the comment field, I'll be able to mark this stage as "confirmed." Thanks!
User Comment:

Our reasoning for chosing Rachela Laska, for the actual identity of R. Laska Is because it claims se attended a school for girls and the usual range of age was between fourteen and twenty, or a date of birth between 1921 and 1927. that being found and stated, Rachela Laska was in the Lodz Ghetto Inhabitants bata based having been born in october 26, 1924, all the others were either too old or too young.

Approver Comment:
Well done! I agree that you have found the "R. Laska" who signed the album; as you suggest, R. Laska was in Gymnasium in 1941, making her between 14 and 20 years old, and of the four possibilities for "R. Laska" who appear in the database search, only Rachela fits the bill.

Also note her addresses: Adolf Hitler Strasse 25 and Sperlinggasse 6, apartment 9.

Great work on this stage--I look forward to seeing what you find in stage 2!
Approver Comment:
I agree that you have found the student who most likely signed the album as "R. Laska"; in September 1941, Rachela would have been almost 17 years old, an appropriate age to have attended Gymnasium.

In the future, please leave me a note in the comment field about how you determined that this was the person you believe signed the album. What was your process? Was there anyone else you ruled out?

I believe the name in the database was "Rachela" with an "a" at the end; as soon as you reenter the name correctly and add your comments to the comment box, I'll be able to confirm your research on this stage and you can move on to stage 2. Thanks!

We think it is Rachela laska because she fit the information that was given to us

Approver Comment:
I agree that you have found the person who is most likely to have signed the album as "R. Laska," but can you give me any more information about your process? What information was given to you? How did you decide that she was the best fit? As soon as you add that information, I'll be able to approve your research and you can move on to stage 2.

I know that Rachela Laska is the person who signed R.Laska because she is the only one who fits the age group of the related searches who would be in high school for girls.

Approver Comment:
Great work! I agree with your process completely--in September 1941 she would have been almost 17 years old, the perfect age to be in high school. Keep up the clear comments! See you in stage 2.
User Comment:

She was a female student. I think she is the one who signed because her birthdate matches the dates of the ages of the children who signed the book between 1921-1944. 

Approver Comment:
I agree; as you suggest, in September 1941 Rachela would have been almost 17 years old, the right age to be in Gymnasium. Remember that we're looking for people who would have been about 6-20 years old in 1941, so born between 1921 and 1935, since the album was signed by students in September 1941.

Also note her addresses: Adolf-Hitler-Strasse 25 and Sperlinggasse 6 #9. See you in stage 2!
