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 did a search of Meir Zalcberg and came up with nothing. So I tried spelling the name Meir in a number of ways (Meier, Mayer, Maier, and Mier Zalcberg) and I found a boy name Majer Zalcberg born in 1928 and he lived at OST 56 and SULZFELDER 58 Flat 3. He gives his occupation as "Schueler."
Approver Comment:
Nice work with the creative spellings! I agree that you have found the student who most likely signed the album; Meir is the Yiddish equivalent of the Polish Majer. Additionally, he would have been 13 years old in 1941, an appropriate age to be attending school #14b. Well done! See you in stage 2.

I believe Ryfka Zalcberg b. 01/25/1899 and worked as a "Naeherin" was Majer/Meir's mother and I believe his siblings were Frania/Trana b. 1938 and Mendel b. 1932. They all lived at Sulzfelder 58 flat 3.
