User Comment:
For Dwora Gelb I found a girl named Dwojra Gelb living at Holz 16 flat 6 and she was born 14 July 1932. With the similar names and being born between the years 1929 and 1934 she seems like the best match.
Expert Reviewer Comment:
I agree with your research! Great job!

I also agree that this is the person who most likely signed this name in the album.

There was a number of people living at Holz 16 flat 6. The names were Fajga FLUM GELB born 1896 and died 19/7/44 (had Lowenstadt as an address) Prywa Gelb born 21 Feb 1901, Lajb Gelb born 29 Dec 1900 and died 29/3/42, Jakob/Jakub Gelb born 18 June 1926, Hinda Guta Gelb born 1865 (she lived at a number of different addresses as well as Holz 16 and she died on 27/7/42) and lasty Josef Gelb born 23 Mar 1867.
I went onto Yad Vashem and found a Page of Testimony for Dvora Gelb born 1932 and her parents were Leon and Priva Gelb. The Testimony was submitted by her brother Jack Gelb (possibly Jakub/Jakob) and that she perished in September of 1944 in Auschwitz. The testimonies for Leon state his parents were Joseph and Hinda Gelb. I believe that the testimony is for the same Dwojra Gelb I'm researching and I'm not sure if I should enter in the testimony information here or not.
Approver Comment:
Is there any information in the testimony linking Dvora to Lodz? If so, please go ahead and enter the information you find there into stage 4. I think that the names of her parents and the names you found in the database are similar enough that his might be a match.

User Comment:
According to the Page of Testimony Dvora/Dwora was born in Lodz, Poland and during the war she was In the Lodz Ghetto. She was sent to Auschwitz in September 1944 and killed upon arrival. I didn't know how to cite my research so I put, " Page of Testimony submitted by her brother Jack Gelb."
