School #20 was a school for boys in Lodz. The students in #20a attended classes in the morning. Most students were between 8 and 13 years old, meaning that they were born between 1928 and 1933.
School #20 was located at Ulica Jakuba 10. The street name was changed to Rembrandtstrasse when German occupation began in 1939. You can read more about Ulica Jakuba at

User Comment:
There are only two results for a soundex search of Szlomo Blanket:
Szlama Blankiet, b 1931
Szlama Blankiet, b 1925
-Both of these results comes from Lodz-Names: A Record of the 240,000 Inhabitants of the Łódź Ghetto.
The second result is too old to have been a student at this school, which taught students born between 1928 and 1933.
The record for Szlama Blaniet, b 1931, and living in the Lodz Ghetto, lists his occupation as student. I believe this is a definite match.
Approver Comment:
Great work! I agree this is the student who signed this name in the album. As your note suggests, he would have been 10 years old in 1941, the right age to attend school #20a. Please add his two addresses in the ghetto to the appropriate fields on this stage, and add any additional information about his deportation to the appropriate field on the next stage.
