User Comment:
A soundex search on Jewish Gen turns up only one person with the name Chaim Lato. Chaim Leib was born in 1929 which is the correct age for someone attending school 21B. He is also listed in the LGL as schueler. Chaim is also found in Volume 5 with his middle name spelled Lajb but with the same birthdate.

User Comment:
According to Jewish Gen Lodz Ghetto List Chaim lived at Fischstrasse 17 before 02/11/1942 when he was moved to Hanseaten Strasse. Volume 5 records an additional move in the NOTES field as Fisch 17 WYM 31.10.42 Hanseat 35.
According to Volume 5 Ester Masza Lato also lived at Fisch 17 29 (in the NOTES field as Fisch 17 GEST 23.8.42). She was born 16 Apr 1898 and listed as hausfrau so she may have been Chaim's mother.
Ester died of malnourishment according to the Lodz Ghetto Hospital Death Records:
Place of Birth: Warschau
Date of Death: 22 Aug 1942
Cause of Death: Unterernährung
Date of Document: 24 Aug 1942
Occupation: Näherin
Address: 20. Str. 17
The hospital records have a possible candidate for Chaim's father; ICEK G. LATO who also died in August 1942.
Date of Birth: 1901
Place of Birth: Golina
Date of Death: 25 Aug 1942
Cause of Death: Lungentuberkulose
Date of Document: 24 Aug 1942
Occupation: Schneider
Address: 20. Str. 17
Further research in Volume 5 reinforces this possibility:
IZAAK HERSZ LATO
Sex:Male
Date of Birth: 28 Mar 1901
Occupation: Schneider
Ghetto Address: Fisch 17 29
Notes: Fisch 17 GEST 25.8.42
