Gymnasium and high school for girls
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 Comment:
Edzia is a common nickname for Ester. Estera with the uncommon last name Abbe is so close that it can be assumed we are looking at the same person.
Approver Comment:
Josh - You may be right on this. Based on a Google search, it looks like Edzia and Esther are sometimes used as names by the same people. However, I'm not entirely convinced that this particular Estera Abbe and Edzia Abbe are the same person. I'm going to flag this entry as "possible" but not "confirmed."

If Estera Abbe is the same as Edzia Abbe, then this would be a correct date for the address change. You should also list the actual addresses (ie, Kirch Gasse 3 Flat 28 to Dom 36) in the Comments field.
User Comment:
Original address was KIRCHG 3 28. The second address was P.O.W. 44. On June 17, 1941, she moved to another apartment in the same building: 36.
Approver Comment:
Since we do not know whether Estera Abbe and Edzia Abbe were the same person, I have to mark this information as "possible." Otherwise, thank you for the contribution to our knowledge about Estera!
