I agree this is the student who signed this name in the album. In 1941 he would have been 9 years old, the right age to attend school #20a. In the future, please use the "research notes" field to explain your process to your fellow researchers. Good luck in the next stages.

User Comment:
I searched in the Lodz Ghetto Inhabitants and discovered Mr. and Mrs. Bankhalter born in 1908 and 1907 respectively, which could make them Szymon's parents. Both parents also have the same addresses as Szymon. However I found two females, one Chewa and one Chawa Bankhalter both born in 1907. I am assuming that perhaps these are the same person and that they are the same entry.

I agree with your conclusions. I hope you are able to uncover more information about Szymon and his family in the next stages.
