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 added the other address by going to the Lodz Ghetto Inhabitants Database and when I typed in Lilka, nothing showed up so I put Lea.
Approver Comments:
I agree this is probably the person who signed the album. Note that the name of the street was "11 Listopada"--11th of November in Polish--so please reenter that street name with that update. Thanks!
Really excited to see what you found in the labor card. Please enter all of that information into the next stage!
You might want to put this in stage 5 so that we can explore all the other wonderful information you found in the other sources about how she arrived at Bergen-Belsen in stages 2-4. What else did you find in her labor card?
