User Comment:
There were two profiles for Perla Szajn, that were unified by one address (Inselstrasse 15), but the birthdates were off by exactly one month. Nonetheless, I believe the two profiles are of the same person. One profile indicates two addresses (Richter, Insel), and the other profile indicates three (Insel, Schlageter, and, according to the notes, a move on May 28, 1941 to Mickiewi).
Expert Reviewer Comment:
I agree that you have found the student who signed the album. In 1941 she would have been 11 years old, the right age to attend school #23. It looks like both records belong to the same person although we cannot be certain. Good luck in the next stages!
Approver Comment:
I also agree these records refer to the same person. Remember to look for both dates of birth in the next stages. Best of luck!

User Comment:
Many of the members of Szajn's family have two profiles, one that indicates two addresses (Richter, Insel), and the other that indicates three (Insel, Schlageter, and a move to Mickiewi). Perla's date of birth differs by one month in the two profiles, as does her brother Abram/Abraham's (Jan. 9 and Feb. 9).
The family's deportation date is listed as March 28, 1942, which is the date (according to Secondary Sources) of a deportation to Chelmno, so I believe this family was deported to Chelmno.
I believe Dawid Icek (b.1898) and Chana (b. 1898) were her mother and father, Eliezer (b. 1927) could be her older brother, Abram/Abraham (b. 1932) could be her younger brother, and Chaja (b. 1935) could be her younger sister.

I agree you have found Perla's family. Thank you for helping to complete her record.
