User Comments:

Two Chaim Finkelsztajns are listed born between 1926 and 1931. Chaim Fikelsztajn born April, 4, 1926 had arbeiter listed as his occupation. Chaim Icchok Finkelsztajn has schueler listed as his occupation, so I think he is the student who attended school 13b

Approver Comments:

I agree that Chaim Icchok is the likelier choice, given that his occupation is listed as "Schueler," as you say; however, depending on when the record for the 1926 Chaim was taken, the "Arbeiter" designation might refer to time spent in the workshops after the closure of the schools (ie, the record we're seeing might have been made after the album was signed). I encourage you to keep track of both the 1930 and 1926 Chaims as you go through the next stages--maybe you'll find more that will convince you one way or another!

Also note their addresses: 1926 Chaim at Cranach 2 #15, and 1930 Chaim at Talweg 7 #5 and Legionow 12.
