Student Profile: A. Zajdenfeld

I found two possible names for A. Zajdenfeld.

Abram Chaskiel Zanjdenfeld b. 14/10/1925 and lived at Bier 24 and Korn 9 12 and he was deported on 25/02/1942 on TR 4/2.

Abram Zanjdenfeld b. 22/08/1922 and he lived at Insel 35 9 and Magister 14. Also note the ghetto note "Zur Arb AG 28.6.1944" I'm not sure what this refers too?

 

I agree that these are the two closest matches for someone who might have been born between 1921 and 1927; if we take a slightly more liberal approach to the spelling of the last name (ie, turn on the "sounds like" button), there are a few other possibilities as well.

"Zur Arb AG 28.6.1944" refers to a deportation. Zur Arb is short for Zur Arbeit, German for "to work." Check out the secondary sources through stage 2 to see where deportations on June 28, 1944 went.

Ghetto note ZUR ARB A.G. 28.6.44

 

Thanks for adding in the extra address. You can also add in the second address, Magister 14. Since the student profile page refers to two Abram Zajdenfelds--one born in 1922, the other in 1925--make sure you leave a comment telling us to whom this one belongs.

We also don't need a married name for this student, who we don't know was married from this record--go ahead and take that out.

Nice work! See you in the next stages after you make those corrections.

Abram b. 1922 was the son of Ester Zajdenfeld b. 1892 and the brother or cousin of Berta Zajdenfeld b. 01/04/1920. According to Abram's ghetto note "Zur Arb Ab 28.6.1944" refers to ZUR ARBEIT (TO WORK.) So I checked the secondary sources and found 28 Jun 1944 transport from Lodz to Chelmno and transport # III was killed in the gas vans. I checked on Jewishgen.org and found that Abram was on transport #469.

Abram b. 1925 was the son of Chana Frajndla Zajdenfeld b. 1890 and he was the sibling/cousins of Chana b. 21/01/1918, Basia 22/12/1922,  Perla b. 15/11/1929, Luba Frandla 29/12/1924, and Lewi Icchock b. 02/03/1927. They were all deported on TR 4/2 on 25/02/1942. According to the secondary resources the family were sent to Chelmno where they were killed in the gas vans.

I agree with all your conclusions. Good job checking the dates against the secondary sources to determine where these boys most likely were sent. I will continue to mark these records as "possible" until we can more closely determine which boy signed the album. Thank you for helping to tell their stories.
