Gymnasium and high school for girls
Gymnasium and high school students were typically between 14 and 20 years old. A gymnasium student in September 1941 was likely born between 1921 and 1927.
The gymnasium and high school for girls was located on Otylii. The street name was changed to Ottilienstrasse when German occupation began in 1939. See
www.lodz-ghetto.com for a map of Otylii and the rest of the Lodz ghetto.

User Comment:
I searched the database under the fuzzy and exact setting for the last name "Rombandel", as well as with the first initial "J" and without. I was able to find only one match for a girl that would have been in the appropriate age range for attending Gymnasium. Irena Rombandel (I believe that maybe the I was confused with a J because of the writing and difficulty with reading it) was born on March 13, 1924. She resided at Korngasse 2 6 and Adolf-Hitler-Strasse 59. Her occupation is listed as that of a Schuelerin. No further notes where listed under her database entry.
Approver Comment:
I completely agree with your findings-Irena seems to be the only possible match in the database, who fits the school's age range. Thank yo for your research!
