School #8 was a school for girls in Lodz. The students in #8a attended classes in the morning. Most students were between 7 and 13 years old, meaning that they were born between 1928 and 1934.
School #8a was located at Ulica Limanoskiego 25. The street name was changed to Alexanderhof when German occupation began in 1939. See

User Comment:
For Mina Obarzanek I found Minia Obarzanek born 22/10/1929 and she lived at Hanseaten 30 flat 42 and Kamienna 18. She was deported on 23/03/1942.
Approver Comment:
This definitely looks like the person who most likely signed the album. In 1929 she would have been 12 years old, the right age to attend school #8a. I look forward to seeing what you find in the next stages.

User Comment:
Minia was deported on March 23, 1942 and according to the secondary sources she was sent to Chelmno and killed in the gas vans. For her family I found, Mendel born 15/09/1898, Sura born 11/18/1896 and died 15/01/1942, Kiwa born 23/06/1924, Aria Lajb 18/11/1927, Aron Szlama born 2/6/1934 and Majer Wolf born 21/11/1936. Minia's family was deported on the same day as her and all had the same fate.
Expert Reviewer Comment:
