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 for J. Birenfeld and there were three results. I narrowed down the results to one boy who was born between the correct years of 1921 and 1927. He was JAN ZBIGNIEW BIRENFELD and he was born 11 Oct 1925 and he lived at HOHENS 38 flat 16 and PIRAMOWICZA 5.

I agree you've found the student who most likely signed this name in the album, and agree with your reasoning. Thanks for entering both ghetto street addresses on this stage.

I found only LUCIA FELIKSA BIRENFELD born 7 Feb 1898 living at the same address. I found Jan in the Work Cards and he was listed with worker number 8386 and worked as a Bürobeamter at 26 Rembrandtstr. (Schneiderei) 14. I also found his mother as Lucja Feliksa in the work cards and she was a "Kanzleiarbeiterin."
I couldn't find anymore information on Jan or his mother in the following stages.

Excellent research! I believe you've found Jan's mother. Thank your for including the information from their labor cards on this stage. I hope you'll find out more on the next stages!
