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
www.lodz-ghetto.com for a map of Młynarska and the rest of the Lodz ghetto.

User Comment:
I believe I have found the girl who signed her name M.
Rogenfisz from school #17B to be Mirka Rogenfisz born April 15, 1930. I came to
this conclusion after searching the Lodz Ghetto Inhabitants Data Base Vol. 1-4
& 5. In the search boxes I entered Rogenfisz in the last name tab, M* in
the first name tab, and entered the year 1928 +/- 5 years in the birthdate tab.
After conducting the search I came across one result with the name Mirka
Rogenfisz, who was born between the ranges of the girls born from school #17B.
Expert Reviewer Comment:
I agree that you have found the student who signed the album. In the future, please leave a note for your fellow researchers letting them know how you determined this was the right person. Also, please add both ghetto street addresses to the record. Good luck in the next stages!
Approver Comment:
I agree that this is the person who most likely signed this name in the album. In 1941 he would have been 11 years old, the right age to attend school #17b. Nice work! Please go back and correct the street address, you can add the name from the dropdown list, it's General Litzmann Strasse. Good luck in the next stages!
