Again, due to not enough information to find out our last search of A. Ajzenberg. We started new research on M. Zoraw, and we belive that Mieczyslaw Zoraw is the student who signed for M. Zoraw. The information that we have gotten to make this perdiction is from Gymnasium and high school for boys (1921-1927), also Mieczyslaw was the only male that fit into the age group for this school. With this information we also want to know if the numbers in the ghetto note (AG 23.6.44) are the date that he got transfer to Chelmno.

You'll also find a record of him as "Mieczyslaw Zuraw" (and a Motel Zuraw, who I think might also be a possibility, b. 1927 as well but different information, so likely not the same person). Take another look and see what else you find! (You might be right with Mieczyslaw, but you at least should put in the other spelling of his last name so we know. Thanks!)

We believe that Mieczyslaw was deported to Chlelmno, Poland. We also believe that Zoraw was deported on June 23,1944. We think this because after doing research June 23 wasthe first of the ten transportations before the camp was liquidated. Also, to back this up in Mieczyslaw Zoraw idenity his ghetto note stated AG 23.6.44 so we think that this was Zoraw being transported to Chelmno in June of 1944.

I agree with your reasoning and appreciate your thorough explanation. Thanks!

I agree that based on the date of deportation, Chelmno is the most likely place of deportation. However, you did not find the information about the date in the secondary sources; as soon as you list the database as your source for that information, I'll be able to mark this stage at least as possible. Thanks!
