A lot of students who attended school #17A were listed as orphans in archival records. How did this affect their experiences? Is there any indication that ghetto authorities protected them from deportation, or were they more likely to be killed? Were there opportunities for them to survive as forced laborers? To what extent was their experience unique? If you are interested in helping with this, feel free to contact me or leave a message on this thread. We can share information here, as well.
I did not know that a lot of them were orfans. I also picked a couple of students from school 17A, but I had no luck finding any thing, so I ended up picking another student maybe I should have stuck with it, but it was so frustrating for me. Good luck with finding info to support your findings, and that is great if she made it.
