School #13 was a school for boys in Lodz. The students in #13b attended classes in the afternoon. Most students were between 10 and 15 years old, meaning that they were born between 1926 and 1931.
School #13 was located at Ulica Franciszkańska 29. The street name was changed to Franzstrasse when German occupation began in 1939. You can read more about the schools on Franciszkańska at

User Comment:
We decided to review the research done on Heniek Rotman by using the name Henoch Rotman because of the date that Henoch was born (1927). We believe that Heniek is in fact Henoch Rotman because of the date of birth. The date of birth 1927 would mean that this person would have been a child during the time of the Lodz Ghetto.
Approver Comment:
You are correct that Henoch Rotman would have been the right age to attend school #13b in 1941. He is the most likely candidate to have signed this name in the album--the only other possibility, Heinrich Rotman, was born in 1925, a little too old for school #13b but not completely outside the realm of the possible. Nice work! I look forward to seeing what you find in the next stages.
