School #17A
School #17 was a school for girls in the Lodz ghetto; school #17a met in the morning. In 1941, students ranged in age from 6 to 13 years old (most were 8 to 11 years old), meaning they were born between 1928 and 1935.
School #17 was located at Młynarska 25. The street name was changed to Mühlstrasse when German occupation began in 1939. See
www.lodz-ghetto.com for a map of Młynarska and the rest of the Lodz ghetto.

The only match for H. Cwajghaft was Hinda Liba Cwajghaft born 27/04/1934 and she lived at Alexhof 14 flat 31 and Zgierska 13. She would have been the right age to attend School #17A.
Expert Reviewer Comment:
Looks like we found a match! School #17 A attendees were usually born between 1928-1935, so she was a young student at this school. Great job on entering the ghetto addresses as well. I'm looking forward to following your work as we uncover this mystery!
Approver Comment:
I agree that this is the most likely candidate to have signed the album. As you and your expert reviewer suggest, in 1941 she would have been 7 years old, at the younger range for students in school #17a. I look forward to seeing what else you discover about Hinda and her family!
The only other possibility is Chaja Sura Cwajghaft, born in 1933, but Hinda appears to me to be more likely.
