School #7 was a school for girls in Lodz. The students in #7b attended classes in the afternoon. Most students were between 9 and 14 years old, meaning that they were born between 1927 and 1932.
School #7 was located at Ulica Zgierska 70. The street name was changed to Hohensteinerstrasse when German occupation began in 1939. You can read more about Ulica Zgierska at

User Comment:
I believe Gela Rachwerger and Gila Rauchwerger are the same person. When I searched the name Gela Rachwerger under the "fuzzy" setting for both her first and last name the only search result was for Gila. The birth date of 1930 corresponds to being of school age. The addresses I provided were listed under the file for Gila.
Approver Comment:
I agree! As you suggest, in 1941 she would have been 11 years old, the right age to attend school #7b. Excellent work, and thank you for your thorough process note. Good luck in the next stages!

User Comment:
I believe Chaim is Gela's (Gila) father and that Dawid and Fajga are her siblings because all three have the same spelling of their last names, and all three have the same two addresses as Gela (Gila).
Approver Comment:
I agree you have found her family.
