School #5 was a school that taught both boys and girls. Most students were between 7 and 15 years old, meaning that they were born between 1926 and 1934.
School #5 was located at Ulica Limanoskiego 45. The street name was changed to Alexanderhof when German occupation began in 1939. See
www.lodz-ghetto.com for a map of Ulica Limanoskiego and the rest of the Lodz ghetto.

User Comment:
sorry that was a typing error!
Approver Comment:
Agreed! No worries; we're just pretty cautious about typographic errors on this end (but I hope that also tells you something about trusting numbers you find in your search, since people who enter numbers into databases make mistakes like that, too). Go ahead and write his name in the "name" field, and I'll be able to confirm this stage.

I agree that you have found the Berek Lewin who signed the album; as you suggest, being born in 1929, he would have been 12 years old when he signed the album, an appropriate age for school #5.
