Gymnasium and high school for boys
Gymnasium and high school students were typically between 14 and 20 years old. A gymnasium student in September 1941 was likely born between 1921 and 1927.
The gymnasium and high school for boys was located on Otylii. The street name was changed to Ottilienstrasse when German occupation began in 1939. See
www.lodz-ghetto.com for a map of Otylii and the rest of the Lodz ghetto.

Approver Comment:
Yes, I think it is very likely that this is a match. However, I'm going to have to mark it as "possible" until we find some good evidence to help confirm that this is, indeed, the student who signed the album. There are also several other students who could also qualify as a match, if we can assume that "Hofman = Kaufman" -- JAKUB LEWI KAUFMAN (b. 5/5/1925), JAKOB LAJB KAUFMAN (b. 1924), JAKOB KAUFMAN (b. 1923), and JOSEK KAUFMAN (1/4/1922) .
