Gymnasium and high school for girls
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 girls 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:
Born in Lodz, Chawa is a possible candidate for this student. She fit the age group of the high school being born in 1923.
Approver Comment:
I agree you've found the person who most likely signed this name in the album. In 1941 she would have been 18 years old, the right age to attend Gymnasium.
When listing addresses, I need you to list the full address: when possible, select the street name from the drop-down list, then add street and apartment numbers as well.
