was most likely deported to the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp at the same month.
This is off by about a year. Sources place the final liquidation of the Łódź ghetto and Emma Morgenstern's likely deportation to Auschwitz in August 1944, not August 1943.
Full reasoning
The article ties Emma Morgenstern's likely deportation to the same month as Samuel Morgenstern's death, i.e. August 1943. But the sources point to August 1944 instead.
Brigitte Hamann's essay says Samuel Morgenstern died in the Łódź/Litzmannstadt ghetto in August 1943, but Emma "must have been deported to Auschwitz by August 1944," adding that by August 30 only a cleanup detachment and a few people in hiding remained in the ghetto.
This aligns with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum's chronology: the destruction/liquidation of the Łódź ghetto took place from August 9 to August 28, 1944, when more than 60,000 Jews were deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau. So Emma's likely deportation was not in the same month as Samuel's death; it was during the 1944 liquidation of the ghetto.
