School #8b was located at Ulica Limanoskiego 26. The street name was changed to Alexanderhof when German occupation began in 1939. See

Approver Comment:
I agree this is the most likely candidate to have signed this name in the album. In 1941 she would have been 12 years old, the right age to have signed the album for school #8b. In the future, please use the "research notes" field to explain your process and conclusions.
Thank you for listing the other spelling and date of birth. Remember to look for both in the next stages.

User Comment:
We are guessing that Chana Kastersztajn is Bluma's mother because the two have both of the same street addresses. Also, Chana was born in 1893, which would make her about 36 years older than Bluma. Chana could also be related to Bluma in another way.
Approver Comment:
I agree with your process and conclusions about Chana. Thank you for listing the additional last name. Have you been able to find any additional information on Bluma?
