User Comment:
The name on the list of students was Abram Holcman. We found his name in the database using an exact search. The boys from his school were born between the years of 1928 and 1933 and the boy we found was born in 1931. He had three addresses listed and the database showed that he moved once.
Approver Comment:
I agree with your process and your conclusions. This appears to be the most likely candidate to have signed this name in the album, for the reasons you cite. Excellent work! Remember to list the change-of-address date in the next stage.

We didn't find any record of Abram Holcman in the Ghetto Labor Cards.
Approver Comment:
I agree this is the date on which Abram moved to the Franzstrasse address. Can you find any information about his family?
Since he was still in the ghetto in March 1944, there's a chance he might have survived at least up to the liquidation of the ghetto. I hope you can learn more about him in the next stages.
