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.

User Comment:
Salomon Zamel Calel may be Szlomo Calel because his date of birth fits perfectly in wiht where he went to school.
His occupation was a schueler.
Another option in Szlama Calel. He was born in 1929, so he is a couple years out of the typicle range for that school, but his name is so similiar.
Szlama Calel was also a schueller and his ghetto address was frosch 12 7
Approver Comment:
Thanks for all the information in the comments! I also think you might be onto something with Szlama, partially because we already know that Salomon's middle name wasn't Lutek (but again, it might be a language-translation issue, rather than a not-the-same person issue). As you suggest, Szlama might be a little young for Gymnasium--but everything is always possible.
Go ahead and add Szlama's DOB as another field in the "date" box, then keep an eye on both of them as you progress. See you in stage 2!
