User Comment:
We made an educated guess that the signed name Cira Lajbchawera could actually be Chaja Cyrla Libhaber. We made this guess because Cira La could translate to Cyrla, the middle name and Chaja could be the Chawera part of the last name. The date matched that of a student's age would be at the school they were enrolled in. They were also listed as a female student.
Approver Comment:
Remarkably, I think you're right. Libhaber and Lajbchawer are very similar to one another in pronunciation, and "a" is the feminine ending for a Polish last name. Please check the address and make sure you've entered everything in the correct order--it's showing up a little strangely on the back end. Also note that this is an "A.M." address, meaning that Chaja lived at this address before and immediately after the creation of the ghetto. There is a deportation note in her "notes" field--what can you make of that date?
