User Comments:
While looking for Chaja, I was unable to find any individual under an exact setting. When I placed the first and last name under a fuzzy setting, I found two girls that could be possible candidates. The first Chaja is Chaja Beczkowska. Her name is closest to the original Benczkowska spelling. Her year of birth is 1931 (which makes her 10 years old at the time of the album signing and within School #4 age range) and her addresses are listed as the Runge 5 14 and Ogrodowa 2 addresses.She also had an occupation of Schueler, which strengthened my suspicion that it was her. The second girl that I was able to find was Chaja Bendkowska. She was born on 3.12.29 (also within range) and had the Zimmer and Alexhof addresses in her notes.
Approver Comments:
I agree that either of these girls might have signed this name in the album. Remember to look for both of them in the next stages, as well as looking for their last names with a -ski ending, since we often find those two endings used interchangeably.
