User Comment:
It appears that Jechezkel's name was mispelled at some point during documentation. As a result, there is another boy named Jecheskiel Epsztajn who bears the same last name and was also an inhabitant of School #1.
Approver Comment:
Good research. The slight name mispelling is a common issue, and the spelling is close enough to show that you do have the right person.

His occupation in the ghetto was a Kind. There is also another possible name listed for this boy: JECHESKIEL MENDEL KOPLOWICZ .
Approver Comment:
Good research. While this person did change addresses on May 24, 1942, we would like you to add in any other changes of addresses listed. And thank you for the possible name. While Koplowicz does not seem similar to Epsztajn, the information and birthdate is a perfect match. Thank you for providing this possibility.
