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:
Okay for Sz. Rycher I found Chaim Szmul Rycher born 20 March 1927 and he lived at Wald 26 flat 3. I also found him listed as Chaim Szmul RICHTER born 20 March 1927 and living at Sperling 14 flat 1 and Dunkle 19 and a date of 26/3/1943.
Approver Comment:
I do agree that those records probably belong to the same person due to similarities in name and date of birth. Thank you for adding both possibilities to the record.

I found Leib Richter born 15 Feb 1889 (he also appears as Mejba RYCHER), Chana Perla RYCHER born 6 Nov 1906, Tauba RYCHER/Richter born 14 June 1932 all living at the same address. I found a page of testimony on Yadvashem for Hana Perel Richter b. 1906 and it says she died in 1943, and there is also one for Khaim Shmuel Richer born 1927. I'm assuming this is Chaim Szmul and his mother since the Submitter was Leib Richter, father and husband to the victims.
I also found that Leib was sent to Flossenburg on 28 Nov 1944 and given prisoner number 38514.

Good work. Thank you for finding Chaim Szmul's family members and for citing each source properly.
