Great work!

I agree that this is most likely the student who signed the album. In September 1941 he would have just turned 14, making him the right age for school #2.
In the future, since we already have source information listed for where you've found the name, date, and address, feel free to use the comment field to explain why you think this is the right student, as well as to pose any questions or overall thoughts you might have. I look forward to seeing what else you discover about Mendel!

I believe that Izrael (born in 1899) and Pola (born in 1904) are Mendel's parents, as they are the right age to have him as a child and they all lived at the same address, Sperling Gasse 4 Flat 5. I found this information using the Lodz Ghetto Inhabitants Database and the Lodz Ghetto List.

I also agree that these are Mendel's parents for the reasons you outline. I look forward to seeing what else you discover about Mendel and his family.
