Student Profile: Sz. Senior

 

The best match I found when searching for Sz. Senior was Slzama Senior born 1926 and he lived at Brunnen 18 flat 3 and TTEL 13. He would have been the correct age for the Gymnasium and High School.

Thank you for correcting the street address on this stage.

 

Arja/Aria Lajb Senior born 16/01/1905 or 16/11/1905, Raca Senior born 1901, and Eliasz Senior I believe are Szlama's mother, father and brother.

Thank you for adding Szlama's family. Were you able to find additional information about him in the next stages?

 

I found Szlama Senior on JewishGen "Mauthausen inmate list of Jews born in Łódź" it says he was born 25 Jan 1926 in Lodz, Poland, worked as a musiker, his prisoner number was 134173 and he arrived in camp in 1945 and he died 6 April 1945 in Solvay, Ebensee.

Wow. Thank you for helping complete Szlama's record. He died less than a month before the liberation of Ebensee--how very sad. Ebensee was a subcamp of Mauthausen; according to the secondary sources, "the Germans transferred a small number of Lodz ghetto Jews between August and October 1944 from
Auschwitz to Gross-Rosen, and, in March 1945, further on to Mauthausen."

The other record for him on this stage--Mauthausen inmate list of Jews born in Lodz--lists him as a Musiker, or musician. Somehow this helps to fill out a little more of his life. I wonder what instrument he played in the camp.
