School #8B
School #8 was a school for girls in Lodz. The students in #8b attended classes in the afternoon. Most students were between 9 and 15 years old, meaning that they were born between 1926 and 1932.
School #8b was located at Ulica Limanoskiego 26. 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:
By searching on the fuzzy setting for the last name (first name on exact setting), I was able to pull up 2 different spellings (Hendels and Hendelus) of the same little girl's name. I believe that this is the case because of shared addresses and a shared birthdate (8.9.29-she was 11 years old). I believe that this is the student that signed the album because of the closeness in spelling to what is believed to be the last name, and the fact that the birthdate falls within the age range for having attended School #8B at the time of the album signing.
Approver Comment:
Great work! I agree that you have found the person who signed this name in the album, for all the reasons you list. Please be careful about how you've entered the second Steinmetzgasse address--the change is in her apartment number, not in her street number.
