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:
The first thing in each field goes with Basia Cyla Zalcman. Everything in the second, third, and fourth field goes with Bluma Zalcman.
Approver Comments:
I'm inclined to think that Bluma is the student we're looking for, since she was born within the right age range for Gymnasium; Basia is a little younger that we'd expect.
Thank you for adding in the addresses (you can actually enter Alexhof as Alexanderhofstrasse, off the drop-down menu). Good luck in the next stages!
