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.

User Comments:
We picked this name because it was the right age and gender and there were several Esteras. And it did not give us an actual birthday, only the year.
Approver Comments:
I agree that you may have found the right student; what date range were you looking for? Simply having a large number of Esteras does not disqualify them from having signed the album; quite the contrary. If there are several possibilities, you should list and research all of them. Keep looking!
