User Comment:
By searching the database under the exact setting Of the Advanced Name Search option for the last name of "Secemski," I was able to find Fiszel. The database showed that there were 17 entries listed with that particular last name, but only one entry seemed to match the criteria for a young boy that would have attended School #20A. Fiszel Secemski was born August 28, 1931. He resided at Ruben 7 (maybe shortened-the second address listed under his entry is Ruben 7 31). His occupation was listed as Schueler (student). Fiszel's notes indicate a transport date of January 22, 1942. Nothing further is listed in his notes.

By searching the database under the exact setting for the last name of Secemski and then matching up individuals that shared the same address as Fiszel, I was able to find one person that I believe to have been Fiszel's father. Alter Secemski was born on January 21, 1902. His occupation was listed as Arbeiter (laborer). He shared a deportation date of January 22, 1942 with Fiszel. According to Secondary Sources, this date would indicate a deportation to Chelmno where they would have likely perished in the gas vans.
Approver Comment:
I agree that you have found Fiszel's father. Thank you for correlating his date of deportation with the secondary sources, and for helping to complete Fiszel's record. You can now complete a biography for him, if you wish.
