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:
While searching the database under the exact setting for the last name Finkelsztajn and the first name (as only H) under the fuzzy setting, I returned Helene Finkelsztajn. Her d.o.b of 15.3.23 would have made her 18 years old at the time that the album was signed (which is in the age range for having attended Gymnasium). She also has a moving date of 14.8.42 in which she relocated to the Hamburgerstrasse 5 address. She is the only female student of that particular age range and with that name that I found that could have signed the album.
Expert Reviewer Comment:
I agree that you have found the student who most likely signed the album. You can add her change of address on the next stages! Good Luck for your research!
Approver Comment:
I also agree this is the person who most likely signed this name in the album. Being born in 1923 would make her the right age to attend Gymnasium in 1941. NIce work!
