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

User Comment:
The name we found was not definitive by any means, but when pronounced, "Perla" sounds quite similar to "Pola", which may have been how this individual's name was pronounced due to an accent on behalf of the parent. The student's last name also has the correct letters for the first 3, which were "Oka". Furthermore, the date of birth of this student is within the given criteria of 1926-1932.
Approver Comment:
This is a very interesting record. I was intrigued at your use of the ? in the last name, until I saw it was listed like that in the source you cite. I agree this is the student who most likely signed this name in the album, and I hope future stage can help us determine what her full last name was (the ? likely denotes that the last part of her name was illegible on this document). Best of luck.
