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.

I searched the database an found 6 people. Only one person matched all i found was her first name an date of birth.
I was looking for females between 1921 an 1927. an the other names i gound were all male.
Approver Comment:
I agree that Helena would have been in the right age range to have attended Gymnasium. As you suggest, she would have been 16 years old in 1941, an appropriate age to be attending gymnasium--and, of course, in order to have signed the album as part of the gymnasium and high school for girls, would have to have been female. Good work!
This might be all the information you have on her in this stage, but there might also be more in later stages. Feel free to move on to stage 2 and see what you find there.
