Student Profile: R. Ajnochowicz

I found two possible names for R. Ajnochowicz born between 1928 and 1935.

1.) Ruchla Ejnuchowicz born 1933 and she lived at Franz 76 and she had a ghetto note of Weisenhaus (I believe this means Orphange but not certain?)

2.) I found Ruchla Laja Anachowicz born 20/07/1928 and she lived at Sulzf 26 8 and she appears twice with that name. I also found Ruchla Lea Annchowicz born 20/08/1928 and she lived at the same address Sulzf 26 8. Also Sulzf 7 and she had a ghetto note of ausg 30.3.42. She was deported on March 30, 1942.

 I believe Ruchla Laja and Ruchla Lea are the same girl due to the birthdates being one month off and the same address.

I agree with all of your conjectures. Ruchla Laja and Ruchla Lea are almost certainly the same person, and your instinct to put down both spellings and both birthdates was correct. I wonder which will wind up being right (or can we even know?) in the end.

Weisenhaus (which is actually spelled Waisenhaus in German, but for some reason the LGID only spells it with an E!) does indeed mean orphanage. If Ruchla Ejnuchowicz winds up being the person who signed this name in the album, then you've stumbled on one of the orphans of 17A. Let's keep a close eye on any information we might find on what happened to her.

Great work!

I found Mindla born 1931 also living at Franz 76 and since she shares the same name as Ruchla born 1933 I believe she was her older sister.

Szejwa/Szewa Anachowicz/Annchowicz nee Schumacher born in 1900 was the mother of Ruchla born 1928 and her sisters were Chana Bluma Anachowicz/Annchowicz born 02/08/1931 and Ajdla Anachowicz/Annchowicz born 30/06/1933. They all lived at the same address and were deported on March 30, 1942. According to the Secondary Resources if they were departed in March of 1942 they were sent to Chelmo where they perished in the gas vans.

You'll also see a Jankiel Annchowitsch (or Schumacher) living at Sulzfelderstrasse 26/8 and Sulzfelderstrasse 7, born in 1900 and deported on Transport 37. Maybe Ruchla, Chana, and Ajdla's father?

Thank you for fixing the last name entries. I agree with your conjecture about Chelmno. Thank you for helping to complete Ruchla's record.
