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:
When I searched for Jadzia Krakowska I didn't find any results. So I decided to search just the letter J and Krakowska and came out with Jadwiga Krakowska born 15 June 1923 and she lived at Talweg 10 flat 54 and has a note which I'm assuming is an address Schlaget 83. I also found her under Jadwiga Krakowski without a birthdate (only an age 17) and a note that says Alter: 17. Not sure if that was an address or not. I searched on the internet and found out then name Jadzia is a Diminutive of JADWIGA so it's possible this is the student who signed the album.
Expert Reviewer Comment:
Awesome research, John! Thanks for adding your sources for the name Jadzia/Jadwiga!
Alter: 17 is actually AGE in German. I'm interested in the address Schlaget, 83 since I've never came across it in my research. I look forward to seeing what you uncover in the following stages! Good luck!
Approver Comment:
I agree that this is the person who signed this name in the album. Alter tells us that she was 17 when the record was taken (so the record was likely done in 1940 or late in 1939). Thank you for your excellent process note.

For Jadwiga's family I found her father as Israel Krakowski age 43 (probably born 1897-1898), her mother as Sura Krakowska/Sara Krakowski born 25 March 1897, her brother as Naftali Krakowska/Anftali Krakowski born 15 Nov 1924, and possibly her grandmother Fryma Krakowski born 1864.
Expert Reviewer Comment:

I believe the Jadiwga I found in this stage is the same Jadwiga from the earlier stages. their birthdates are similar with only a few months difference.
Expert Reviewer Comment:
Hmm, I wonder which birthdate is correct? I agree that it's possible this is the same Jadwiga from the previous stages.
Approver Comment:
Wow! Excellent work. Have you been able to find any additional information about her in the last stage?
