User Comment:
Looking up Dwora Radomska, we found a few results. There were two Debora's, who were both born in 1931 which would make them of the appropriate age to have signed under this school. We looked it up, and Dora(Dwora) is a common nickname for Debora. We initially thought both Debora's were the same person, but they had different address so we decided they were not.
For Debora Radomska, her street addresses were Muhl 79 4, and Muhl 65. She was born in 1931.
For Debora Radomski, her street addresses were Muhl 65 1, A Hitler 56, and on 10.11.41 she moved once again to Muhl 83A.
Approver Comment:
Actually, I do wonder if these are the same person--the Muhl 65 commonality tipped me off to it. Either way, I agree that both records represent someone who might have signed this name in the album. Best of luck in the next stages.

User Comment:
Debora Radomska was deported on transport #7. It is believed that all transports went to Chelmno, but because we aren't sure I will not enter that as a place of deportation or place of death.
We found family members for both girls, and they are all listed above. The slight spelling change (ski vs. ska) allows us to know which family member goes with which girl.
As we were going through finding the girls family members, we began to notice a pattern: 2 Debora's, 2 Sara Gitel's, and 2 Ra(e)jzla's- and both the Debora's, Sara Gitel's and Ra(e)jzla's were born in the same years. We initially thought the two Debora's were different because they had different addresses, but the fact that the 2 mothers and 2 siblings would have the exact same name doesn't seem like a coincidence. However, because they have different addresses and the Radomska's have a deportation number whereas the Radomski's do not, it seems more likely that they were different families- with just scarily similar names!
Approver Comment:
What I think we're looking at are two sets of records for the same family. Radomski and Radomska are the same last name: Radomski is the male ending, Radomska the female. (For more information, watch the "here's why names are tricky" tutorial in the name entry box.) The Radomska records are after the Radomski records (two different record-keepers, one who respected gendered conventions, the other who did not?) since the Radomska records list a deportation (1942 or later) and the Radomski records have a latest-date of 1941. What do you think?
