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. Burakowska I found only one person who fit the age range 1928 and 1935. The girl i found was Fajga Burakowska born 8 Aug 1933 and she lived at Brunnen 22 flat 21 and she had the A.M. under her address.
Expert Reviewer Comment:
I agree you've found the correct student!
Approver Comment:
I agree! In 1941 she would have been 8 years old, the right age to attend school #17a. Thanks for noting that this is an AM address: this means her family lived at that address before and immediately after the creation of the ghetto.

User Comment:
I found Chaja born 1896, another Fajga born 18 July 1888 living at Brunnen 22 flat 21 and they also had Szadek, and Jakub Burakowski born 9 Mar 1921 and Hena born 4 Dec 1922. It seems more plausable that Chaja is the mother and Fajga is perhaps an aunt or older relative. But I entered them both in since we can't be certain.
Expert Reviewer Comment:
I agree that it's more likely Chaja is the mother. But as you say since we don't know for certain we'll have to keep it as possible. What else have you found out about Fajga and her family?
Approver Comment:
Thank you for adding her family members to this stage. Have you found any information about Fajga in the next stages?
