User Comment:
When looking for Rywka, I initially looked under the exact first and last name, but returned only older women that could not have signed the album. When I searched the fuzzy setting for the last and first name, I returned what appeared to be only one possible match. Rywka has a birth date (18.07.1931) that fits under the appropriate age range for having attended school #4A at the time of the album signing, and her occupation is listed as Schuelerin. Her notes also indicate a ZAM date of 28.10.42
Approver Comment:
I do agree you have found the student who signed the book! Minor spelling differences can be a result of translation mistakes or simply that the handwriting was difficult to read. ZAM means Zameldowane = Registered in.
Good luck in the following stages!
