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

I only found one other person living at Sperlinggasse 15, 16. He was Mojzesz Pinkus born 04/04/1923. I couldn't find Abram or Mojzesz's parents. Abram died in the Ghetto on 9 March 1942.
Approver Comment:
Thank you for adding the information about Abram's family, and for helping to complete Abram's record.
The Chronicle of the Lodz Ghetto reads: "In March 1942, 2,244 people died in the ghetto . . . there was a shocking increase in the mortality rate in March. The causes are hunger, the protracted winter, and the resettlement campaign."
