User Comment:
Upon searching S. Hendler, who is documented as having an unknown gender and being born between the years of 1921 and 1933, we came across Sura Bajla Hendler who was born in 1927 and we believe fits the requirements for this student.
It is provided in Sura's notes that she was a "scheulerin" or student, and that she was deported on a transport with the number "14".
We searched for "14" in the transports and prisoner registration of Lodz ghetto Jews and found 5 transports with part of the date that included a 14. Because we searched her name in the labor cards and Auschwitz death book and did not find her, we can conclude that she was not on any of the transports that brought people to camps to become prisoners. So we can assume she was on the transports between May 4th and 15th 1942, because all the people on those perished, or July 14th 1944, because all of those people perished as well.

I agree you've found the person who signed this name in the album. Nice work! The AUSG TR number does not refer to a date, but rather to a transport number--she was deported somewhere on Transport 14. We don't know where, and we don't know for sure that she perished, even though she does not show up on the lists you specify. Keep looking--there might be more information out there.
