School #10A
School #10 provided classes for girls; #10A met in the morning. Most students at School #10A in September 1941 were between 9 and 14 years old, meaning that they were born between 1927 and 1932.
School #10 was located at Ulica Franciszkańska 13. The street name was changed to Franzstrasse when German occupation began in 1939. You can read more about and see pictures of Franciszkańska at

User Comment:
When searching for her name, we came across a Perla Hochszpigiel, but there were no results for the last name Hochszpigel. From this and the fact that the birthday matched with her school, we concluded that Perla Hochszpigiel is Perla Hochszpigel.
Approver Comment:
I agree you've found the person who signed this name in the album. The names are very similar, and, as you suggest, she would have been the right age to attend school #10a.
Please note the Brzezin address in the database record: this tells us she came to the ghetto from Brzeziny, a town nearby to Lodz. Occupants of the Brzeziny ghetto were sent to Lodz in 1942, after the album would have been signed, but I don't think this precludes her from being the signer; she may have come to Lodz earlier than that.

User Comment:
We found all of the siblings to be related because they all have the same address and are born in years that would lead us to conclude that they are siblings. The only one who differs is Hersz, because there is a note that he moves, but this note is not found in any of the other sibling's entries. The reason for his relocation could possibly be for work.

I agree that you have found Perla's siblings. Have you found any other information on her in the next stages?
