Gymnasium and high school for girls
Gymnasium and high school students were typically between 14 and 20 years old. A gymnasium student in September 1941 was likely born between 1921 and 1927.
The gymnasium and high school for girls was located on Otylii. The street name was changed to Ottilienstrasse when German occupation began in 1939. See
www.lodz-ghetto.com for a map of Otylii and the rest of the Lodz ghetto.

User Comment:
By searching for the first initial of the first name (H*) on the fuzzy setting and the exact last name of Librach, I was able to pull up five different names. Of the five, three were male (which didn't fit the description at all), and the only other female was far older than what would have been an appropriate age range for having attended Gymnasium at the time of the album signing.I then searched for just the last name under the exact setting and found only one other girl close to the age range (Diane-1929), but not exactly fitting the parameters. Helena has a birthdate of 25.11.1925, which puts her in the range for being the girl to have signed the album (she would have been 15). She is the only appropriate match that I could find.
Approver Comment:
I agree that this is the person who most likely signed this name in the album. Nice work! Thank you for correcting the street addresses.

Very neat that you were able to find her labor card! Have you been able to find any additional information on her or her family in the next stages?
