Gymnasium and high school for boys
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 boys 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:
The student list listed this person's name as Aleks Przytycki. I am assuming that Aleks is a nickname for Aleksander-- whom I found two records for-- (which appears to be the same person because of the birth date.) It indicated an address change.

Your research looks good! I am going to go ahead and confirm that Aleksander Przytycki and Aleks Przytycki are the same person (go figure). It appears that there are three different addresses in the database for Aleks. Be sure as you continue your research to insert the addresses to make it easier to find Aleks' family as well.
Great job!
User Comment:
Aleksander was a student at Gymnasium andHigh school for boys. He was a student. He lived at Danziger 6 and at Sudeten 20 2
On december 13, 1942 he was moved to Konigsber.
I think that he is the one who signed as A. Przytycki because he would be fifteen in 1941.
Approver Comment:
I agree! Excellent work. Note that there are a ton of entries for his name in the database--go through all of them and make sure you have all the addresses listed in the comments. See you in stage 2!

Found what looks like 2 possible relatives. All lived at the same addresses at the same times.
Abraham Przytycki - DOB 1/9/1930 (possibly a sibling)
Wigdor Przytycki - DOB 11/7/1905
Dates indicated are in European format.

Great job identifying members of Aleks' family -- that will come in extremely useful in future stages. I will mark this as "Possible" simply because we can't absolutely confirm what the family relation is, but I think it'd be safe to go ahead and submit Wigdor as Aleks' father which I can then also mark as Possible.
When looking at Abraham's records, it appears his name was also recorded as Abram which may or may not help out later. Be sure to include that in the comments section just in case!
Something interesting to note -- in comparing the records of Aleks, Wigdor, Abraham (Abram), and Rywka, they all have two changes of addresses on the same days (which would indicate to me that it wasn't simply an error in the record-keeping but that they might have actually switched residences twice in a 2 day period). According to the secondary sources, there weren't any round-ups/deportations from Lodz at the time, so I'm not sure why they would have moved around so quickly, but it might imply something else was going on.
Great job so far -- keep it up!

Haha, well you read my mind Kristin. Disregard that last comment then.
Good job!

The arrival date is the when Aleks arrived at Mauthausen from Auschwitz. I haven't found the date he was deported to Auschwitz yet.
Mauthausen was a labor camp in Austria.
