User Comments:

Most of the names that came up on a direct seach of her name came back too far out of the date range. Upon seaching for names that sound like Rywka Nirenberg, Rywka Merenberg came up and her date of birth is in the expected range and she has student as her occupation.

Approver Comments:

I agree that based on the date of birth and similarity of the name, Rywka Merenberg is most likely to have signed the name of Rywka Merenberg: in 1941, she would have been 14 years old, the right age to be attending school #5. Also note her addresses: Brunnengasse 6 #1 and Hohensteinstrasse 52.

Nice work! Let's keep an eye on that last name and see if it comes out in any other spellings.
