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:
I think this is the person who signed the album as "Sz. Sochaczewska" in school #17a. She's the right age--she would have been 8 years old when she signed the album--and the name is very similar to the one signed. All other possibilities are too old or too young for this school.
Expert Reviewer Comment:
This looks right.
Approver Comment:
I agree that this is the most likely student to have signed the album. As you suggest, she would have been precisely the right age for the school in 1941. Remember to look for her last name spelled as "Sochaczewska" and "Sochaczeski" in the next stages.
