School #8 was a school for girls in Lodz. The students in #8b attended classes in the afternoon. Most students were between 9 and 15 years old, meaning that they were born between 1926 and 1932.
School #8b was located at Ulica Limanoskiego 26. The street name was changed to Alexanderhof when German occupation began in 1939. See
www.lodz-ghetto.com for a map of Ulica Limanoskiego and the rest of the Lodz ghetto.

Expert Reviewer Comment:
Great work! I agree that you've found the student who signed the albumn.
Approver Comment:
I also agree you've found the student who signed this name. In 1941 she would have been 11 years old, the right age to attend school #8b. Excellent work! In the future, please leave a comment letting us and your fellow researchers know why you decided this was the person who signed the name. I look forward to seeing what you discover in the next stages!

User Comment:
I found the following at the same address as Estera and they appear to be a family with parents and 5 children:
Alter Apelowicz (b 1885), Hela Apelowicz (b 1888), Icek Apelowicz (b 1913), Rywcia Apelowicz (b 1917), Nacha Apelowicz (b 1918) and Frajda Apelowicz (b 1928)
I also found a death for Icek Apelowicz on 11 Jan 1942 aged 29 at the Lodz Ghetto Hospital. He has the same address as on the Lodz Ghetto Inhabitants Database, was born in Radoszyce, was a clipper and died of tuberculosis. This is according to the Lodz Hospital Records on Ancestry.com.

I agree that you found Estera's family. Great work!

I also agree you've found Estera's family. For Icek, this information also shows up in a search of the Hospital, Labor, Deportation, and Administrative Records linked on this stage, which is built on the same set of data.
Have you been able to find any additional information in the next stages?
