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 believe this is the right student because of the age
Approver Comments:
I agree; in 1941, she would have been 21 years old, an appropriate age to be completing gymnasium when she signed the album. Very nice work! I look forward to seeing what you find in stage 2.
