Gymnasium and high school for boys
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 boys 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.

Possible Mother: Mera Wolfson, born January 8th, 1889. Same address in Ghetto, occupation: "Modistin"- milliner (hat seller)
Approver Comment:
Good research! Jakob Wolfson is the only male Wolfson in the Lodz Ghetto database that would be the right age to have been an Gymnasium student in 1941. It is also likely due to the birthdate and address that his mother is Mera Wolfson, though it would be helpful if you moved that comment to the next stage of research. Thanks for your efforts!

There was only one other person living at the same addresses of Jakob and she was Mera Wolfson born 08/01/1889. I found Jakob in the Lodz Work Cards under JAKUB HERSZ WOLFSON born 12 June 1926 and living at Holz 9 flat 20. He was employed as a Elektromonteur (Electrician) and worked at address 39 Alexanderhofstr (Elektrotechnische-Abteilung) 36 and he had worked since 01 April 1942. His worker number was 61526.
