School #10B
School #10 provided classes for girls; #10B met in the afternoon. Most students at School #10B in September 1941 were between 9 and 15 years old, meaning that they were born between 1926 and 1932.
School #10 was located at Ulica Franciszkańska 13. The street name was changed to Franzstrasse when German occupation began in 1939. You can read more about and see pictures of Ulica Franciszkańska at

Additional information is provided about Cesia Cudkowicz:
Please note, Cesia Cudkowicz was deported on March 24, 1942, transport number 10, to Chełmno
Approver Comment:
I agree that the Cesia you've listed here is probably the Cesia who signed the album. Not only is her name an exact match, but she's listed as a "Schuelerin" born in 1931, which would make her 10 years old in 1941, an appropriate age to be attending School #10b. Good job! (Next time, if you could talk us through how you figured out that this Cesia was the right one, that would be great--even if she's the only one with that name!)
Thanks again for unpacking the "ghetto note" abbreviations. Again, keep an eye on this information for a later stage. I'm going to have to mark this stage as "possible," since you note that she was deported to Chelmno, but we currently have no other information to back up that this is where her transport was headed. (I know it's part of our notes in the database, but I'd prefer to see it supported with additional documents you find before we say for certain that Chelmno is where she wound up.)
One more thing: there's a Cerla Cudkiewicz in the database; written in script "Cesia" and "Cerla" don't look all that different from one another, and Cerla is also the appropriate age to be in #10B (and is listed as a "Schuelerin"). See if you can find out anything else about Cerla as you look for Cesia.
Thanks--see you in Stage 2!

Again, spot-on with the date and the transport; given the date of deportation, it is highly likely that she was transported to Chelmno. Could you leave me a note in the comments as to how you found the information and why you believe what you entered is correct? (Just trying to make sure we have a record of the process.)
