School #21 was located at Ulica Wrzesnienska 34. The street name was changed to Königsberger Strasse when German occupation began in 1939. See

User Comment:
For an exact search for 'Izrael Honigsztok' only two results came up, and only one fit the range of birthdates to have been young enough to sign the album.
Approver Comment:
I agree this is the correct person to have signed this name in the album; all other possible signers would have been too old in 1941 to attend school and sign the album.

User Comment:
I connected Izrael to a father (Luzer, b. 1902) and a mother (Perla, b. 1902) through matching addresses. Like her son, Perla was also deported on June 30, 1942, however there is no corresponding deportation in the Secondary Sources, so where they went is unclear. There is a transport number next to the date in Perla's record, so that is where I got the transport number from.
Luzer, the father, does not have deportation information listed with him. Instead, there is a date that indicates when he moved from the Sperling address to the West address. While we cannot be certain, I have guessed that this is also when Perla and Izrael moved addresses too.
Approver Comment:
I am going to mark this as possible, since we do not know for certain that Izrael changed addresses on the same day as his father (though it is likely). There is a reference in the Chronicle of the Lodz Ghetto to deportations from Lodz to a labor camp near Berlin on the last days of June, but this was a transport only for men, so if Perla and Izrael were deported together, they would likely not have gone there.
