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:
She was resident of Lodz and lived at Ludendesfeld 37. In the ghetto she lived at Hohensteiner Strasse 43 Flat 22 and then moved to Basar Gasse 8. Her occupation is listed as "Schuelerin".
There is another Dyna Wita listed, but the birthdates for the two are the same, leading me to believe both entries are for the same person. This second listing also provides an address of Alexanderhof Strasse 44 Flat 5 in the ghetto.

User Comment:
1.we assume that her sister is Perla. They share the same spelling of last name, and the same address, just different flat numbers. Perlas address is listed as ALEXHOF 44 4 while Dina's is AXELHOF 44 5
2. Found her brother, Chaim, on a labor card, http://online.ushmm.org/lodzchildren/laborcards/pdf/o/Opatowska-Oppenheim.pdf
wasn't sure how to include or interperet this. stamped with TRANSPORT 4.5.44 on it.
Approver Comment:
Thank you for adding her family members. You cannot add Chaim's information to fields here, since this is Dina's record, but you can add information to your research notes that you found on the card. Look in the community center for a list of German abbreviations that might help you interpret his labor card.
