School #8b was located at Ulica Limanoskiego 26. The street name was changed to Alexanderhof when German occupation began in 1939. See

User Comment:
I am assuming here there was a misspelling in Bela's name, or that the B was perceived to be an R. She did attend School #8B which was intended for girls born between 1929 and 1932, making her 1930 birthdate fit the age range. The similarity of the two names in the birth date are what really make us think that Rela is in fact Bela.
Approver Comment:
This is one possible candidate. Thank you for your excellent process note. I wonder, though, if Rela might have been a nickname for another name--perhaps Rachel or Rachela? What do you think?
