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:
A search for C* Siwek came up with only one girl--Cyrla. The name was a close match and Cyrla was born in 1930, which would have made her the right ae to attend School #8A.

I do agree you have found the student who signed the album in 1941! Minor spelling differences can be a result of translation mistakes or simply that the handwriting was difficult to read. Good luck for your research!

User Comment:
Cyrla had a father, Zelig (b. 1893), and two possible candidates for a mother: Rojza (b. 1894) and Golda (b. 1907), although I'm inclined to think that Rojza is the mother and that Golda is another female relative (but that is just speculation.) Cyrla also had two siblings, Laja (b. 1923) and Jakub (b. 1928).
Golda either moved or was deported on July 24, 1944, although there is no deportation date listed in secondary sources for this date. No deportation information is available for any other member of the family except Cyrla, who died of unknown causes on April 5, 1943.
Approver Comment:
I agree that you have found Cyrla's family members, and that either Rojza or Golda might be her mother. Thank you for helping complete Cyrla's record.
