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.

Rojza Lubinski:
Many names came up in the search, however, Rojza Lubinski was the closest match according to her school and the year she should have been born, even though the last name is slightly off.
Her month and date of birth are unknown at this time.
She had two addresses. Frantz, we figured was short for Franzstrasse and Gdanska, which was not on the list of streets.
Rojza Lubinska:
We included Rojza Lubinska, who directly matches the signed named. She was born in 1920, just outside of the school's age range, so she would be one of the oldest children in the school. Her street address is Am-Bach. We wanted to include both girls, as they both are legitimate potential matches.
Approver Comment:
I agree that you have found the person who signed the album. Lubinski and Lubinska are the same last name, simply with the male and female endings attached to them (respectively). If someone unfamiliar with these gendered conventions were taking her family's data, Rojza's last name might be lumped in with her father's (presumably with the male ending). As you suggest, in 1941 she would have been 17 years old, the right age to attend Gymnasium. Rojza Lubinska is also a possibility; at 21, she would also have been the right age to attend Gymnasium.
I look forward to seeing what you discover about these girls in the next stages!
