Searching further into the Lodz Ghetto Inhabitants Database I discovered a transfer date of 20.03.1942. and a transfer number of 30. Using this transfer date I searched through the secondary source and found that "Between January and May 1942, more than 54,000 Lodz Jews were killed at Chelmno." This could have been Brajndla Rudnicki's fate. Searching through the Labor Cards the closest name to her first name was a "Brajna Regenwetter" but the last name was far off. The names that begin with R in the labor cards only go to "Rozenfeld" so I could not find anyone with a last name of "Rudnicka." Searching through the Auschwitz-Birkenau Prisoner list I began by searching the name Rudnicka and was able to find eight people but none had a name resembling Brandla. I then searched Rudnicki but there were no Brajndlas so I inserted B into the first name search but did not get any results. Inserting Brajndla did not gain any results either. Searching through the Catalogue of Oral History Archives, using the name “Brajndla Rudnicki,” I found a few results. There were six Rudnickis but there weren’t any Brajndlas or any names that were similar. Using an advanced google search with the word holocaust to narrow down the search, I found her name in the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. I also found her last name in the Warsaw Ghetto Database but there was no Brajndla Rudnicki. Ancestry.com gave me many results for Rudnicki but no one matching the name Brajndla.
