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:
The only person I found for I. Lajtman was Itta Latman born 18/08/1931 and she lived at Hohens 24 flat 46 and Kilin 46. She moved on 19/03/1942 to Sulz 4.
Expert Reviewer Comment:
This find seems to be correct. Another important part of Itta's record is that she was listed as a "schueler," which means scholar/student in German. Good job finding a match!
Approver Comment:
I also agree you have found the most likely candidate to have signed the album as I. Lajtman. Good work! In 1941 she would have been 10 years old, precisely the right age for school #17a.
You can go ahead and add the change of address date to the next stage. I look forward to seeing what else you discover about her!

I found Dina Litman born 22/12/1903 and Mordka Beniamin Litman born 23/08/1900 all living at Hohen 24 46. Dina also appears as Dina Purman and living at Alexhof 14 flat 30 and Sulz 4. I also found them on JewishGen under the Lodz Ghetto Work Cards but I couldn't locate them under the museums database. I'm guessing that Mordka and Dina are Itta's parents.
Expert Reviewer Comment:
This assumption seems correct, since their names are the same and the birthdates seem to match up with the age of parents. Great job uncovering the family relations! I cannot wait to see more information found on Itta.

What did you discover in the Lodz Ghetto Work Cards? You can add that information here, as long as you cite it correctly from JewishGen. I'm excited to see what you uncovered there.
