Approver Comment:
I agree that, given Hersz Waks' age, he is a very likely candidate to have signed the album. How did you decide that this Hersz is the one who signed it, though? There are two other entries for Herszes born in 1928 who might also be possibilities. Please remember to let me know about your process using the "comments" field in every stage, and keep on looking.

I agree that all of these are accurate statements about the Hersz Waks who was born in 1927. Any thoughts about his parents?
