School #8B
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.

Approver Comment:
I agree that this Rachela is the most likely candidate to have signed this name in the album. In 1941 she would have been 12 years old, the right age to attend school #8b. In the future, please make sure to leave a note explaining your process in the "research notes" field so we and your fellow researchers know how you arrived at your conclusions.
You can also add Srodmiej to an additional "place" field; this was a city near Lodz from which people were deported into the ghetto. Read the secondary source information in the community center for more information.
Good luck in the next stages!

I agree. How did you determine that Abram was her father?
You can use the secondary source materials in the community center to determine the destination of the deportations that took place in early September, 1942.
