User Comment:
I believe B. SZMIT's real name is BAJLA SZMIT. After researching, she was from school #8A and she had to be born between 1928 and 1934. BAJLA SZMIT was born Mar, 1928 so there is a high possibility that this is the right girl. Thanks.
Approver Comment:
I agree that this is the most likely candidate to have signed this name in the album. If you search the database with a fuzzy search for her last name you will find a second record that points to her.

I found a possibilty that could be the mother, Hendel Szmit. They were at the same ghetto address with the mother being born on 1895. It's a very good possibility.
Approver Comment:
I agree that Hendel is Bajla's mother. If you search the database for the last name Szmit you'll find more of her family members who lived under the same ghetto street address. Good luck for your research!
