User Comment:
By searching the database under the fuzzy setting for the last name "Rotkel," three matches for were returned, only one was close to what we were looking for. Maks Rotkiel was born January 24, 1927. He resided at Steinmetz 20 3B (and on December 23, 1941 was relocated to Steinmetz 20 2), as well as Nord Strasse 20. His occupation was listed as Schueler. Nothing other than the relocation to Steinmetz 20 2 was listed in the entry notes.
