Gymnasium and high school for boys
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 boys 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 was only one person who matched for M. Szwajcer born between the years 1921 and 1927. He was MOJZESZ PINKUS SZWAJCER born 4 April 1923 and he lived at Gerberstrasse 13 and Sperling 15 flat 6 and he changed addresses 3/1/42 to Hanseaten 4. He appears as a second time with the addresses Hanseaten 41 flat 2 and changed addresses on 19/8/42 to Hanseaten. He appears for a third time with the address Hanseaten 61 flat 24 and Hanseaten 41. He has a ghetto note that says, "ABG SEPT 1942 A.G." I'm not sure if this refers to him changing addresses in September of 1942 or if he was deported to Chelmno in September of 1942.
ABG + date: Change of registration to new address
AG or A.G. + date: Change of registration to new address, or deportation (to Chełmno); AG may be used as an abbreviation of either "Abgang"or "Ausgang"
Expert Reviewer Comment:
I agree with your reasoning! Mojzesz is the best match. I'm also not certain whether ABG SEPT 1942 A.G. refers to deportation or change of address. If you look at the secondary sources there were daily deportations to Chelmno in September of 1942. So It's possible he was sent to Chelmno. I look forward to seeing what you uncover in stage 2. Great work!

Nice work. Thank you for listing all of his addresses. I hope we'll discover more about what happened to him in the stages ahead.

There was only one other person living at Sperlinggasse15 6. He was Abram Szwajcer born 29 March 1926 (he attended the Gymnasium also). I couldn't find anymore information on Mojzesz in the following stages.
Approver Comment:
Again, I agree that we do not yet know to what the date in the notes field refers. Thank you for adding Abram to this stage.
