Attached is the birth record of Hinda Dwojra Brocka (akta 1004), my second great-aunt, born in 1900, in Lodz, to Szmul Majer Brocki and Mirla Joab, to my knowledge. This is fairly close to the birth of my great-grandfather, born in 1902 to a different mother. Hinda lived within the Lodz ghetto during the Holocaust, and her final fate is unknown.

Your assistance in the translation of the document will be appreciated. Thank you.
