I did a search for Chaim Szapira and he was born on 19/12/1929. He lived at BRUNNEN 10 and PFEFFER 6 1 and he gives his occupation as a "Schueler" and he was deported on TR 2 but there isn't a date.

Approver Comments:
Out of all the possible Chaim Szapiras, Szapiros, and Szpiros, only this student was born between 1926 and 1931, the expected age range for school #13b. Nice work!

I believe Chaim's parents were Sura Tauba b. 1898 and Moszek b. 1893 and I believe his siblings/cousins were Maria Hinka b. 13/06/1920, Chana b. 15/02/1932, and Fajda b. 21/06/1933, and Szlama b. 12/02/1938. They all lived together at the same address and were deported on TR 2.

I agree with the information you present here. Thank you for helping to complete Chaim's record. What else can you find out about Transport 2?
