School #21B
School #21 was a school in Lodz. The students in #21b were boys, and they attended classes in the afternoon. Most students were between 8 and 14 years old, meaning that they were born between 1927 and 1933.
School #21 was located at Ulica Wrzesnienska 34. The street name was changed to Königsberger Strasse when German occupation began in 1939. See
www.lodz-ghetto.com for a map of Ulica Wrzesnienska and the rest of the Lodz ghetto.

User Comment:
The name signed in the album was Tomek Znamirowski, and the name I found listed is Tanchem Eljasz Znamirowski, which I found by researching the last name (exact) and T*. His date of birth matches with the date given based on his school, and the similar names lead me to believe that this is the same boy.
Also listed in the database is the date 8.9.42 (September 8, 1942) along with the two addresses from the ghetto. I believe this date could be the date that his family moved apartments.
Additionally, but searching for Eljasz (Tanchem's middle name) Znamirowski, a more exact birthday was given within the same year (May 27, 1929) as well as another address at Gnesner.
Approver Comment:
I agree you've found the most likely person to have signed this name in the album. As you suggest, the names are similar and the date of birth puts him in the right age range for school #21b.
Note that Tadeusz Eliasz Znamierowski is also listed as born in 1929 and living at the same addresses--please add this spelling of his name to this stage, then be sure to look for both names in the next stages.
