Gender: girl
School:
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.

User Comment:
I searched for Estera Kaner under the exact settings for the first and last name. The database returned five matches. Of the five, 4 of them were either too old or too young. One of the matches for Estera Kaner did fit the age range for attending School #17A. Estera Kaner was born on 03.05.1928. She had no occupation listed, but her notes did indicate that she was transported on transport number 30. No date was listed to coincide with the transport number, but I will check the secondary sources to see if there is a specific date associated with that transport number.

Based on shared addresses and a search in the database under the exact setting for the last name Kaner, I was able to find some individuals that I believe to be Estera's family. Chinda Fajga (20.01.1902) is the oldest female listed at the residence, and I believe that she is Estera's mother. Srul Kiwa (10.03.1930), Sura Tauba (15.01.1924), and Frymet (1938) I believe are her siblings. Unfortunately, the entire family shares a transport number of 30, but I am currently unable to find the exact date and destination of the transport.

Thank you for adding her family to the record. I hope you'll find out more about their fate on the next stages. Good luck!
