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:
I searched the database under the exact setting for the first initial of "D" and the fuzzy setting for the last name of "Baszewiez," and it returned 10 matches. Only one entry fit into the appropriate sex and age range for having attended Gymnasium at the time of the album signing. Dorota Elzbieta Basiewicz was born on February 14, 1923. She resided at Am-Bach 33, Hitler 145, and Alexhof 14 while in the ghetto. She had an occupation listed as Schuelerin, and no further information was listed under her entry.
Approver Comment:
I agree this is the right person to have signed this name in the album. In 1941, she would have been 18 years old, the right age to attend Gymnasium. Have you tried searching under her middle name in the next stages?
