Gymnasium and high school for girls
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 girls 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:
I added the 3rd address that was in the information, into "The Ghetto" stage. I wasn't sure whether it was supposed to be in that stage or the "Identity" stage. Also, the May 6, 1944 date that you mentioned was a change of address to her home at Bleicherweg 16 10, but I didn't find anything about the May 9, 1944 date.

Nice work! I agree you've found the student who signed the album. Remember to look for both spellings in the next stages. You can add Bleicherweg to this stage or stage 2, since both refer to her life in the ghetto.
The two dates (May 6, 1944, and May 9, 1944)listed for her lead me to believe she was still in the ghetto after the major deportations (before the summer liquidation) had come and gone. I'm still curious about what May 9, 1944 might mean, and I'm excited to see what you find out in the next stages. Thanks!

In the database, I found a Ghetto note that, according to the bottom description, meant that she had changed addresses and it gave the date along with it. That was the only information I could find in this area.
Approver Comment:
I agree. Can you find out anything else in the later stages?
