School #4A
School #4 was a school for girls in Lodz. The students in school #4a attended classes in the morning. Most students were between 7 and 12 years old, meaning that they were born between 1929 and 1934.
School #4 was located at Ulica Brzezinska 41. The street name was changed to Sulzfelderstrasse when German occupation began in 1939. You can read more about Ulica Brzezinska at

User Comment:
I believe Lea Opatowska is Mirjam Lea Opatowska(ki) born 25 April 1933 and she lived at Kelm 22 flat 5 and Siegr 46 flat 5 and she was deported on 29.01.42. It's possible that Mirjam went by her middle name and she was the correct age for School #4A.
Approver Comment:
I agree! As you suggest, in 1941 she would have been 8 years old, the right age to attend school #4a. Best of luck in the next stages.

User Comment:
The only person I found living at Siegfr 46 flat 5 and Kelm 22 flat 5 was Rywka Ruchla Opatowski(ska) born 19/08/1901 probably Mirjam's mother. On January 16 through 29, 1942 there were 14 transports sent to Chelmno and Mirjam and her mother were on the last transport sent out and they probaby perished in the gas vans.
Approver Comment:
I agree that you have found her mother. Given the deportation date we have to assume that the family was killed in Chelmno. Thank you for your research!
