I have no idea if this will help anyone, but it certainly has me stumped at the moment. I have been trying to find a name for Jakobsen, but his name is not found within the database, nor are there any close names to it. I did some outside research trying to see if Jakobsen was even a name, and I have learned that his name is of Norwegian origin. That may help future researchers if they try to look outside of this database.

There are 50 or so people with last name Jakobsen (or spelling variants) on the Lodz ghetto list. Many of these are adults and so can be discounted as our boy. Here are the only 2 names with potential:

JACOBSOHN, Wolfgang
20/10/1936
M Origin: Berlin Iv
Hamburger Strasse
65 Flat 5n
10/09/1942 / AUSG

JAKUBSON, Moritz
1925
M Lodz, Poland
Mittel 50 Insel Strasse
2-4 Flat 1a
Died 27/07/1942
Lodz Ghetto

My money would be on Wolfgang given that Moritz would have been in his late teens and perhaps less likely to be in school??

If Wolfgang is our boy then his parents are likley those adults at the same address:
JACOBSOHN, Alfred
22/11/1887
M Origin: Berlin Iv
Hamburger Strasse
65 Flat 5n
10/09/1942 / AUSG
Elektromont

and

JACOBSOHN, Helena
07/04/1895
F Origin: Berlin Iv
Hamburger Strasse
65 Flat 5n
10/09/1942 / AUSG
Hausfrau

There is no one else at that address with the same name.
