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

User Comment:
For R. Mesing I found Rwya Messing born 1930 and lived at Regier 17 flat 1 and she was deported on March 12, 1942 from Zorawia 22. She would have been the correct age to attend school #17A.
Approver Comment:
Good work. I agree that Rywa would have been the right age to attend school #17a in 1941. You have more information in the database entry that should help you complete your research in stage 2.

I found Dwojra born 1898, Estera b. 1922, Gitla b. 1931, Jakob b. 1932, and Mania born 1935 all Living at the same address as Rywa. They also share the same deportation date which would have sent the family to Chelmno where they perished in the gas vans.
Expert Reviewer Comment:
I agree with your findings. Great job researching the whole family! It is interesting that no father was found in the database. Perhaps his last name is spelled different in the database? Let us know if you find more! Thanks!
