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:
Mendel Sendowski born in 1923 is the only result that fits for the the school range of 1921-1927 so I believe this is him. Also, I think he is the brother to Rachela Sendowska and Josef Sendowski because they are close in age and share the same address of Krauter 13 1.
Becoming stuck, I began searching for other family members with the last name Sendowski/Sendowska. I came across a Bajla Sendowska DOB 1894 with the same address Krauter 13 1. Also, I came across a Chil Sendowski DOB 1895 also with the same address Krauter 13 1. I believe these two may be the parents of these children given their age and similar addresses.

You can put the information about the parents into stage 2.

How interesting! It's rare that we have names for multiple siblings up on the site just yet, since we're still parsing through the lists and often siblings attended different schools, but I think you've found the Sendowska/ski siblings, who all attended Gymnasium in 1941 and all signed the album for Rumkowski. Excellent work! I look forward to seeing what else you find in the stages that follow.
