School #14B
School #14 was a school in Lodz that taught boys; school #14b met in the afternoon. Most students were between 10 and 15 years old, meaning that they were born between 1926 and 1931.
School #14 was located at Ulica Franciszkańska 29. Fourteen of the Lodz schools met on Franciszkańska, most in the building at #29. The street name was changed to Franzstrasse when German occupation began in 1939. Learn more about the schools on Franciszkańska at

User Comment:
I added Pinchas's addresses to the address feild.
I believe Pinchas Starczewski was Pinkus Starczewski b. 01/06/1928 and he lived at Hausierer 6 1 and Hohens 49. He moved to to a new address on 28.6.44.
Approver Comment:
I agree--the name is similar enough (Polish versus Yiddish, perhaps) and the age is exactly what we would expect for school #14b.
You will notice in the stage 1 database that there are three links for Pinkus Starczewski, all with the same DOB--there is another entry that lists an address of Hausierer 1 #22, then notes that the move in June of 1944 was also to Hausierergasse. The one that lists the Hausiergasse 1 address abbreviates the June move with "ABG"--which says to me "abgegangen," or moved away--whereas the Hausierer 6 entry references "ANG," angegangen, arrived. What do you think this means?
Great work!

I believe tha family of Pinkua Starczewski were Blima b. 16/05/1897 and Szlama 04/09/1891 and his siblings/cousins were Fajga 19/12/1925, Froim 21/03/1918, Izrael Hersz 08/09/1920, Luzer Dawid 06/05/1928, and Mindla Bajla 1933. They all lived together at the same address'
Approver Comment:
Interesting that Luzer and Pinkus were born so close together--this suggests that there may have been two immediate families living together at those addresses. As a result, I'm not sure we can say for certain that Blima and Szlama were Pinkus' parents (they might have been an aunt and uncle), but this is definitely on the right track.
Expert Reviewer Comment:
Very nice work! It is very interesting to see what the student looked like.
Approver Comment:
Excellent work. Thank you for helping to complete Pinchas' record.
