School #17 was a school for girls in the Lodz ghetto; school #17b met in the afternoon. In 1941, students ranged in age from 9 to 15 years, meaning they were born between 1926 and 1932.
School #17 was located at Młynarska 25. The street name was changed to Mühlstrasse when German occupation began in 1939. See

User Comment:
Putting Goldwasser's name into the database, the only plausible fit that came up (based on age) was Chaja Bruna, so perhaps she signed with the initial of her middle name?
Expert Reviewer Comment:
I agree that you have found the student who signed the album. Good luck in the next stages!
Approver Comment:
I agree this is the only possible candidate to have signed this name in the album. We have seen many instances where students signed the album using their middle name or middle initial, and it looks like this is what Chaja Bruna did here.

User Comment:
The people listed as her family all lived at the same place as Chaja Bruna, and were all deported on the same date (in addition to having the same last name.) I have found a father/uncle (Leib Arje, b. 1905), a mother/aunt (Chejwet, b. 1902), and two brothers (Abram Izrael, b. 1930; and Icchok, b. 1932).
They were all deported on the same day, March 15, 1942, which according to the Secondary Source list, was part of daily deportations that month to Chelmno. This is where I have concluded that this family was sent.
Expert Reviewer Comment:
I agree with you. Thank you for commenting on you research!
Approver Comment:
I agree with your conclusions. You may add Chelmno as the place of death as well.
