School #6
School #6 taught boys and girls who were deaf or hard-of-hearing. Since it was the only school for children who were deaf in the Lodz Ghetto, its students ranged in age from 6 to 20 years old, and were born between 1921 and 1935.
School #6 was located at Ulica Limanoskiego 45. The street name was changed to Alexanderhofstrasse when German occupation began in 1939. See
www.lodz-ghetto.com for a map of Ulica Limanoskiego and the rest of the Lodz ghetto.

I found living at the same address of Kejla, Mordka Dawid born 19 Oct 1903 and died 11 March 1942, Rywka born 19 May 1900, and Chaim born 7 Oct 1928. I'm assumg they are her parents and brother. I also found on Yad Vashem a page of Testimony for Pesa Keila Hirshman born 15/08/1935. It says she perished in a "Deportation Camp" and there is also a Page of Testimony for her father. I searched through the following stages and couldn't find any more on Kejla's fate.
I found that Chaim was sent to Buchenwald in Jan of 1945.

Thank you for adding the note about your process for finding her family members. I wonder if there is more information we can find out about Kejla that would help to clarify the "Deportation Camp" note.
