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:
There were two entries both for Estera Frajda Bitterman born 01/01/1924 with the same addresses listed. Born in the year 1924, it would make sense that Estera attending Gymnasium and High School for Girls.
There is a note associated with her information which reads: GEST 28.8.42 which I believe means she died in August 28th, 1942. I also believe she died in the Lodz Ghetto because there is no note of her being transported anywhere. However, I will continue my research in order to validate this claim.
Approver Comment:
Good work! I agree that this is the student who signed the album for the Gymnasium. I also agree with your reading of the date in the ghetto note; generally when we see dates of death in the first database, they do refer to death in the ghetto. I wonder if you can find out anything else about her.

I believe this student died in Sattler 7 on 28/8/1942 because on one of the listings the note reads: Sattler 7 GEST 28.8.42
We know from the other listing that Sattler 7 was one of the students addresses within the ghetto, and based on this note it seems likely that this is the location where she died.
Approver Comment:
I agree that this is the date of death. We cannot be certain of the exact place where she died--we can, however, say that she likely died in the ghetto in general. Thank you for helping to complete Estera's record.
