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:
Hena Pozner. Out of a list of 8 possible H. pozners'. Hena Pozner was the only one who was born between the years of 1921 and 1927 (the likely age range of the girls who attended Gymnasium and high school for girls.) Her date of birth was 1923.
Approver Comment:
I agree that Hena Pozner is the person who most likely signed the album as "H. Pozner." As you suggest, in 1941 she would have been 18 years old, an appropriate age to be in Gymnasium. Great work!
Also note her addresses: Brzeziny and Insel 30, #5.
I look forward to seeing what you find in stage 2!
