User Comments:
I'm not 100% sure that Cela is Cywia... but it seems very possible because of her age (she's listed as a "schuelerin") and because the names sound very similar - it is possible that Cela could be a nickname.
Approver Comments:
Hmmm, my gut tells me that Cela and Cywia are not the same girl. I'll have to do a little more research, but I don't think that Cela was a common nickname for Cywia. In addition, there appear to be a few other strong contenders (try checking the box for similar sounding names for "Hofman")... I think that Kaufman is more likely to be the same as Hofman than Cela is to be Cywia. In particular, these two girls (possibly actually one girl) look like possible matches: SALA KAUFMAN (b. 1927, Schuelerin) and CZESLAWA KAUFMAN (5/5/1927). What do you think? If you agree, please submit these two names, too, and I'll mark it as "possible."
