Approver Comment:
Yes, it is likely that Froim was her father (though he could have been an uncle or other older man living at the same address). He would have been 33 years old when Chana was born. He is listed as having died on April 13, 1942 in the ghetto. It also looks like Perla Tauba was his wife (based on birth date and address).
