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:
I searched F Wachtel and and found one name. I went to the database and found her full name, birthdate, and streetname address. She had two adresses on the database so i just put the first one. My teacher said she was probably transported or something.
I added the second address to it.
Approver Comment:
I agree you've found the girl who most likely signed the album. In 1941 she would have been 12 years old, the right age to attend school #17b.
As far as I can tell, we do not yet know anything about whether or not she was deported, since Steinmetzgasse is another street in the Lodz Ghetto itself. I look forward to seeing what else you find about Fajga!
