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:
MASZA POMERANCBLUM was born 5 Sep 1924 and she lived at Pfauen 4 falt 1 and Kirchpl 5 flat 17 and Hohens 22. She changed her address on 8.12.41 to Pfauen 4, and a note that says ABG 8.1.42 WARSCHAU.
Expert Reviewer Comment:
I agree that Masza is a possible candidate, as she fits into the right age range for the girls's gymanasium . According to her profile, the birthdate and addresses that you recorded are accurate. I would say that the note you mentioned probably means she was transferred to the Warsaw ghetto on January 1st. 1942. Another possible candidate is Mirjam Bajla Pomerancblum, who just falls into the age range for the gymnasium at the older end of the spectrum. I would say that Masza is the more likely candidate though, thanks for the good research.
Approver Comment:
I agree both of these students are possible candidates to have signed this name in the album. ABG Warschau tells us she was sent to Warsaw in January 1942, so there might not be any additional records for Masza in the Lodz database after that time, but there might still be information on her in other records in the next stages. Were you able to find anything there?
