I believe one of these people are the right one because they both went to school #13B and the age group that went there was 10 - 15 years old and the years to be born were 1926 - 1931. both these people were born on 1927 witch would mean that one of them shoud be the right person that i am looking for. The first persons Ghetto Address's are, Bazar 9 23, and Masarska 13. The occupation of the first person is Schueler. The second persons Ghetto Address's are Blattbinder 6, and Storchen 13 4. The second persons Occupation is Schueler. the first persons Ghetto Note is AG 11.9.42, the second persons is ABG 27.2.42 Basar 9.

Approver Comments:
I think they're the same person! Here's why:
-13/2 and 03/2 are easy enough to transpose (forgetting to type the 1 in 13, for instance)
-Let's look at those addresses:
~Chaim #2 lived at Blattbinder 6, then Storchengasse 13, then--according to the ghetto note--moved to Basar (or Bazar?) 9 on February 27, 1942. (My list of street names in the ghetto shows Basar and Bazar as common abbreviations for the same street, Basarstrasse.) Chaim #1 is listed as living at Bazar 9 and then Masarska 13.
~This seems to me to say that the record for Chaim #1 was made after the record for Chaim #2--after Chaim would have already moved to Basarstrasse.

You also know when he was deported: September 11, 1942. What does that tell you?
