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.

A search for S* Pokoik turned up only two results. Syma was the only one born in a year that made her eligible to attend School #17A.

I agree that you have found the student who signed the album. Thank you for leaving a note for your fellow researchers letting them know how you determined this was the right person. Good luck in the next stages!

I matched Syma to her family by connecting those with matching last names to Syma's address. She lived with her father, Abram (b. 1902), mother (Szajndla, b. 1897), and siblings Fajga (b. 1928) and Jechiel (b. 1935).
The entire family was deported on March 28, 1942, during the month of daily deportations to Chelmno.
