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:
Of the three results for Zelda Sieradzka that came up, only one was born in the right age range to have attended school #8B.
Approver Comment:
I agree this is the person who most likely signed this name in the album. In 1941, she would have been 9 years old, the right age to attend school #8b. Please note her date of deportation in the next stage.

User Comment:
Only one Sieradzka matched the same address as Zelda, and it was of a mother/sister/cousin Pesa (b. 1910). Because of the age difference (21 years) between Pesa and Zelda, is is hard to tell what kind of family member Pesa was. They were both deported on May 10, 1942, on which date there was a deportation to Chelmno.

Thank you for adding this information and completing Zelda's record.
