User Comments:

When I entered Benjamin Altman's name into the database it came up with three matches. I chose this one because he was born in 1928 which fits with the age he should have been. Other information I found was his ghetto address which is  AM BACH 12 19.

Please see the note I left for the other researcher who worked on Benjamin Altman; you've both stumbled upon the same person, who is confirmed to be the person who we believe to have signed the album. Thank you for listing his ghetto address as well.

Thanks for reentering the birthdate correctly!

User Comments:

I believe I found Benjamin’s mother through the Hosptial, Labor, Deportation, and Administration database. Her name is Chana Bajla Altman. She was born on February 18, 1891, which would have made her 37 at the time of his birth. She also lives at the same address as Benjamin.

Approver Comments:
I agree that based on their shared addresses and her date of birth, Chana Bajla is our best guess as to who Benjamin's mother might have been.
