A fuzzy search for C* Cymbalista came up with Chana Synbalista, who was the closest and only match. She was born in 1931, which would have made her a plausible age to attend School #17A.

I agree you've found the student who most likely signed this name in the album, and agree with your reasoning! Minor spelling differences can be a result of translation mistakes or simply that the handwriting was difficult to read. Good luck in the following stages!

User Comments:

Only one other Lodz Ghetto resident had the last name Synbalista--presumabely Chana's younger sister, Tanchen (b. 1934). They were both deported on the same day, January 28, 1942, on which date there was a deportation to Chelmno.

Approver Comments:
I agree with you findings! Given the information from secondary sources we have to assume that they were killed in Chelmnno.
