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:
We've found other Gawronska Wieners that were living in Lodz and we think they might be related, but we're not sure how to determine that- do you have any suggestions???
Approver Comment:
Are they at the same address?

Be careful about adding in the birthdate--I can't confirm that date until I see a document for it.

I agree that Dobruchna Gawronska Weiner is the most likely candidate to have signed the album as "D. Gawronska." However, if she was born in 1927, she would have been 14 years old in 1941--probably a little too young to be married and thus have a maiden name, don't you think?
I searched for the last name "Gawronska" (and the variant "Gawronski") in the database, and found three additional "Gawronska Wiener"s, Eryk, Sloncowid and Stelo Socyslaf (great names!), born in 1927, 1922 and 1926 respectively and living at Zimmerstrasse 18 #9, the same address listed for Dobruchna. This suggests that the full last name was "Gawronska Wiener."
I need you to do two things before I approve this stage:
-Reenter Dobruchna's name spelled correctly (Wiener rather than Weiner)
-Insert her date of birth into the "date" field
Also, do some more searching and see what you find--any possible parents or clues about the double last name?
