The gymnasium and high school for boys was located on Otylii. The street name was changed to Ottilienstrasse when German occupation began in 1939. See

Approver Comment:
Great job! I agree that this is a match. Also, note that Perec lived at INSEL 25 flat 23 and SULZF 44 in the ghetto. It also looks like he moved to or from SIEGRIED on 17.8.42 (August 17, 1942). Please proceed to Stage 2 of your research to enter the change of address date. Good job!
User Comment:
I found Perec listed under the surname Zoltkowski with the same birthdate and living at Siegfried 42 flat 7 and Insel 23. He Moved to flat number 24 in same house on 30 Nov 1942.
Approver Comment:
I agree you have found the student who most likely signed this name in the album. You'll also find him as Perec Zoltowski (no K)--please enter this additional spelling into the given name field on this stage.

I found Perec's parents as Lejbus born 23 Jan 1892 and died 7 April 1942 and Chaja Laja born 30 Feb 1892 and died 29 Jul 1942 (appears as Chaja-L Zoltkowski in the Hospital database).
Approver Comment:
Thank you for adding his parents' names. I wonder what Perec's living situation was like after his mother's death--we know he moved three weeks later, but with whom did he live?

I found Perec listed in the (Mauthausen inmate list of Jews born in Łódź) as Perec(?) Zoltowski born 20 Dec 1928 in Lodz, Poland. It states he arrived at Mauthausen on 25 jan 1945 from Auschwitz and he had prisoner number 118496.
Approver Comment:
Fascinating! Even with the altered birthdate, I agree this record most likely refers to the Perec Zoltowski we've been researching. Have you been able to find any reference to his deportation to Auschwitz? He's also listed as a student (schüler) in the Mauthausen record, implying further that this is the person we're looking for.
