School #17B
School #17 was a school for girls in the Lodz ghetto; school #17b met in the afternoon. In 1941, students ranged in age from 9 to 15 years, meaning they were born between 1926 and 1932.
School #17 was located at Młynarska 25. The street name was changed to Mühlstrasse when German occupation began in 1939. See

User Comment:
While searching the database under the fuzzy setting for the last name, I was able to find 2 young girls (Estera Pastawelski is listed twice-I believe this because of matching addresses and dates of birth) that would fit into the appropriate age range for School #17B. Ester Postawelski has a date of birth of 19.12.1930, held a Franzstrasse address, and her occupation was listed as Kind. Estera (whom I am leaning toward as being the more likely of the 2 to have signed the album based on her listed occupation of Schuelerin) was born February 12, 1927 and held the 2 Sulzfelderstrasse addresses. No deportation information is listed in either girls notes, but a moving date of 22.04. 41 is listed in Estera's notes. This is when she moved to the Sulzf 16 address from the Sulzf 40 37 address.
Approver Comment:
I do agree you have found the most likely matches. Thank you for adding both girls to the record. Minor spelling differences can be a result of translation mistakes or simply that the handwriting was difficult to read. Good luck in the following stages!
