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

User Comment:
The notes section on Estea's profile in the Lodz Ghetto Inhabitants Database through the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum show the abbreviation "A.G." following the numbers "15.3.42". These notations suggest that Estea was either deported or she moved locations within the ghetto on March 3rd, 1942 when she was 12 years old.
Expert Reviewer Comment:
I think you've found the right student. Please also note that she lived at Bleicherweg 17 in the ghetto as well. I'm looking forward to seeing what you uncover in the next stages!

Please remember to add that second address as well. Best of luck in the next stages.

User Comment:
Because no further information could be found on Estea or her family following the date given for their relocation, I would assume that she was taken to Chelmno and gassed on arrival. Another fact that contributes to this theory is that there were daily transports to Chelmno from the Lodz ghetto in March of 1942, the month and year that the Poddebskas moved with no forwarding address.
Expert Reviewer Comment:
You've done a great job finding Estea's family. I also agree that it's possible she was deported to Chelmno in March 1942, where she most likely died. Thanks for adding this information to her record.
Approver Comment:
I agree that it is very likely that she was deported on this date in 1942, but it is also possible that she moved on that date within the ghetto. We cannot assume anything in this history: not having more information simply means we do not have more information, not that she was murdered. I hope we're able to find more information helping us figure out what Estea's fate was.
