User Comment:
There was also a note "WEISENHAUS", but we were unsure of what this note meant. We thought that it could have indicated that this individual moved.
Approver Comment:
I agree you've found one possible candidate to have signed this name in the album. Please also consider Icek Szymon Jochimowicz, born in 1930, whose name is also similar to the name that was signed in the album and who also would have been the right age in 1941 to attend school #20A.
Weisenhaus is a misspelling of the German word "Waisenhaus," which means orphanage. As far as I know, this is the first record we have found so far of a student in school #20A living in the Franzstrasse orphanage. I'm very interested to see what you find out in the next stages.
