First address shown as Zawadzka 18. Second address shown as Sulzfelder Strausse 84, Flat 21. Moved to Altmarkt 14 on 11/13/1941.
Deported to Chelmo camp on 09/13/1942 along with her mother, Fajga Gelibter (b 03/25/1902)
Rywka was deported on September 13, 1942, just a day after the infamous Gehsperre Aktion. This makes it very likely that she was deported to Chelmno due to the close proximity to the Aktion. During this time, the ghetto hospital was liquidated as well elderly and children. My hunch is because at this time those sent to Chelmno were killed in the gas-vans, I assume she would have perished at the camp in one of the killing vans.
Approver Comment:
Thanks for changing the dates to reflect the correct usage! I'm going to have to continue to mark this entry as "Possible" until we figure out whether she did go to Chelmno, given the discrepancy in dates around the Gehsperre Aktion, but this is a great start for us.

Approver Comment:
“Your choice to go to the secondary source material to uncover the context in which Rywka was deported was quite wise. As I mentioned in my comments on stage 2, we cannot confirm conclusively from the secondary sources you cite that Rywka was sent to Chelmno. So, until you or another researcher unearths further corroborating evidence, I will have to mark this entry as "Possible." Keep up the research!
