Student Profile: A. Tusk

It is probable that Abram Eliasz Tusk is the same "A. Tusk" who signed the album. There is only one other "A. Tusk" in the appropriate age range to have been a gymnasium or high school student in September 1941, and that is Abram Arje Tusk (b. December 25, 1921). Given that Abram Eliasz is listed as a schueler in the Lodz Ghetto Database and Abram Arje is not, I feel that gives Abram Eliasz a slight edge. However, it is not enough to mark this finding as "confirmed." Until we find additional supporting documentation, I will have to mark this entry as "possible."

Yes, the notation "ABG" indicates a change of address. Abram Eliasz changed address from Dessauer Strasse 30 in Lodz to Reiter Strasse
5 Flat 18 in the ghetto. Then from Reiter Strasse to Cranach Strasse 15 on July 1, 1942.

On a different note, one of the postwar lists of survivors includes a survivor named Abram Tusk who was born in Pabjanice in 1926. This is an important clue since a large number of Jews from Pabjanice were sent to the Lodz ghetto, and 1926 is only one year off of Abram Eliasz's birth year. Perhaps this is him? Something to keep you motivated in your search.
