School #18 was a school for boys in Lodz. The students in #18a attended classes in the morning. Most students were between 8 and 11 years old, meaning that they were born between 1930 and 1933.
School #18 was located at Ulica Urzednicza 11. The street name was changed to Reiterstrasse when German occupation began in 1939. See

User Comment:
Everything I've found seems to match. This boy's name may be Szlome instead of Szlomo. The last name is a match, and the record that I found puts this boy at the appropriate age to be in school at School 18A.
Approver Comment:
I agree! Szlome and Szlomo are analogues of one another--please continue looking for both versions in the next stages.

User Comment:
Pinkus Orzechowski may be a relative who lived nearby but may not necessarily be the father. Pinkus' address is listed as Zimmer 19, 14 and then relocated to Zimmer 17. However this is the closest Orzechowski in the area and it seems a bit too convenient to have two different families of Orzechowskis in the same building so close to each other with no relation. The date of birth is old enough to have children which makes this a possible match.
Approver Comment:
I agree these are all possible family members for Szlome. Were you able to find more information about him in the next stages?
