Gymnasium and high school for boys
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 boys 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:
I searched the database and found that Eliakin was the only boy who was at high school age of the 8 results.
Approver Comment:
I agree. Even though at 13 years old in 1941, Eliakin would have been a bit young for gymnasium/high school. He is the only potential match in the database. I am going to mark this entry as "possible" only because of his age.

User Comment:
Using the address that E. Kalmus lived at, I was able to match his mother and a younger brother to his address.
Approver Comment:
I agree. Good job. I'm marking this as "possible" until we can confirm that Eliakin was the student who signed the album as "E. Kalmus."
