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:
I initially searched the database under the exact setting for the first intial "R" and the last name Jonasowicz, but it didn't return any matches. I then searche dunder the fuzzy setting, and it returned a single suitable match for the student that we are looking for. The match was a young girl born on January 24, 1933 named Rojza Janasowicz. She lived at Pfeffer 17 4 as well as Altermieter. Her notes indicate that she moved to Pfeffer 15 on April 27, 1942. She was also listed as having the occupation of Schuelerin.
Approver Comment:
I agree that this is the student who most likely signed the album. In 1941 she would have been 7 years old, the right age to attend school #17a. Good luck on the next stages.
