For G. Checinska I found Gela Checinska born 4/6/1931 and she lived at Muehl 39 flat 4 and moved on 22/08/1943 to Sophien 8. She also appears with the birthdate of 1932 and living at the same address and also a ghetto address LODZ PIOTRKO and I wasn't sure if this was an address or not. Also she had a ghetto note of WSKA 22 ABG 22.8.43 ZO.

I also found Gela under the last name Chezeinska and with the birthdate of 15/11/1932 and she also lived at Sophien 8 flat 1A and she moved to Steinmetz 12 on 8.3.44. I'm pretty sure that the two Gela's are the same girl and now all we need to figure out is which birthdate is correct.

Uopon further research of Gela Checinska I found that she lived at five different addresses. I also found her under the Lodz Ghetto Inhabitants database Vol. 5 and living at Zimmer 16 flat 3.

I believe she lived firstly at Muehl 39 flat 4, then moved on 22/08/1943, to Sophien 8 flat 1A, then moved on 23/10/1943, to Hohens 43 flat 125, then moved on 8/03/1944 to Zimmer 16 flat 3, then moved on 16/03/1944 to Steinmetz 1.

I was also wondering what "Lodz Piotrko" means. She appears with it as her ghetto address numerous times and I wasn't sure what it means.

Approver Comments:
Lodz Piotrko might refer to the suburb/neighboring town of Piotrkow--maybe she moved from there first? Either way, I'm pretty certain this is our student; when she was born exactly is still a mystery, but I'm glad you've laid out all the pieces in this stage.

I found the following people living at the same address as Gela. Srul born 10/01/1910 (father) Szmul born 1937 (brother) and Alta born 1912. I couldn't find anymore information on Gela or her father or brother. I searched through the labor cards but didn't find anything.

Approver Comments:
I agree with your conjectures about her family. If she was still in the ghetto in March of 1944, she avoided all the major deportations prior to the liquidation of the ghetto, so this is very intriguing information.
