Student Profile: Pola Akerman

School #6 taught boys and girls who were deaf or hard-of-hearing. Since it was the only school for children who were deaf in the Lodz Ghetto, its students ranged in age from 6 to 20 years old, and were born between 1921 and 1935.

School #6 was located at Ulica Limanoskiego 45. The street name was changed to Alexanderhofstrasse when German occupation began in 1939. See www.lodz-ghetto.com for a map of Ulica Limanoskiego and the rest of the Lodz ghetto.
