User Comment:
Though Gerszon Lejwi is listed as a child (kind) rather than a student (schueler), his was the only good match I could find in the Lodz Ghetto Inhabitants database (ie, only one within an appropriate age range and similar name spelling) using any combination of exact, fuzzy and DM Soundex combinations. The next closest possibilities were Guenther Lewy and Gabrijel Lewi. Both of them had suitable birth dates, but the names just seem to far off.
Approver Comment:
I agree that this name is a better match for this student than either Guenther or Gabrijel. Please add "Hanseatenstrasse 4" as an additional address for him, as this is listed in the notes field on Gerszon's record.
