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:
When I searched for L. Szpigelman I didn't find any results born within the years 1921 and 1927. So I tried a "Fuzzy" search and found Lili Szpigielman born 1 March 1927 and she lived at Fischstrasse 1 flat 5 and she had "DEUTSCHLANDP" under her address and a note that says "L 9." I believe that when you connect the address and comment it becames the address Deutschland Platz 9 which isn't a street that was in the Ghetto so It's possible this was Lili's prewar address.
Expert Reviewer Comment:
Great work! I agree with your reading of "DEUTSCHLANDP" "L 9." as Deutschland Platz 9. Looking forward to seeing what you uncover in stage 2!
Approver Comment:
Very nice work. I agree with your conclusions and agree that this is the student who signed this name in the album.

I found Szmul Jakub born 15/10/1892 and Hindla born 17/04/1897 living at the same addresses as Lili. I searched through the other stages and didn't find Lili or her family in any of the databases. I did find a Lili SZPIGIELMAN in the Survivors databse and I added that information into stage 5.

I found Lili SZPIGIELMAN in the Survivors database and it says her place during the war was Lodz. I couldn't find anymore information on her though.
