School #17A
School #17 was a school for girls in the Lodz ghetto; school #17a met in the morning. In 1941, students ranged in age from 6 to 13 years old (most were 8 to 11 years old), meaning they were born between 1928 and 1935.
School #17 was located at Młynarska 25. The street name was changed to Mühlstrasse when German occupation began in 1939. See
www.lodz-ghetto.com for a map of Młynarska and the rest of the Lodz ghetto.

User Comment:
For F. Bajgelman I found Felicja Bajgelman born 03/12/1931 and she lived at Insel 11 16 and Insel 5. She would have been the right age to attend School #17A.
Expert Reviewer Comment:
I agree that Felicja is the likeliest person to have signed the albumn.
Approver Comment:
I also agree that Felicja is the most likely candidate to have signed the album as "F Bajgelman," as all other candidates in the database are either too old or too young. Nice work!

I found the following people living at Insel 11 flat 16. They were Rywka Ruchla Bajgelman born 21/12/1874, Rojza Bajgelman born 19/10/1902 and she died on 08/03/1943, and finally Chunem Bajgelman born 23/04/1916. Given the age ranges I'm thinking that Rojza was Felicja's mother and Rywka was possibly her grandmother and Chunem may have been her uncle.
Expert Reviewer Comment:
I agree that they were probably related in some way. Great work as always!
Approver Comment:
If we cross-reference with the Inselstrasse 5 address, we also find Chaim Bajgelman (no DOB listed). I agree that all of these people were related in some way to Felicja. Looking forward to seeing what you find in the next stages!
