Comment #1: Of the 3 students found on the website for P. Ring, Paulina Ring's birth year, 1927, appeared to be the closest to the appropriate age for a female in the gymnasium and high school for girls. She would have been between the age 13-17 during the war. In checking the potential ages of students in high school, I came across an article which stated a girl entered high school at the age of 16.

The next closest age potential was Pesa Laja Ring, born August 5, 1920. She would have already been 20 years old at the creation of the Lodz Ghetto, seemingly too old for high school. Please let me know your thoughts on whether P. Ring may be Paulina Ring. Thank you.
Comment #2: Paulina Ring has two Ghetto addresses listed. The first Ghetto address listed is Korn 5, apartment 2. The second Ghetto address listed is Pulver 8.
Comment#3: The Yad Vashem website's Central Database of Shoah Victim's Names has Paulina Ring's address before WWII and possible place of birth listed as Lodz, Poland. This website also has a slightly different Ghetto address listed. Street in Ghetto is listed as KORN GASSE. House No. in Ghetto is listed as 5 FLAT 2.
Comment#4: I found several people with the name "Ring" who have the same ghetto address as Paulina Ring. I need to verify if they are related. It appears that Estera may be Paulina's mother, Jakob may be Paulina's father and Fradla Pessa may be Paulina's older sister. These are from the JewishGen website:

Above are several people with the name "Ring" who have the same ghetto address as Paulina Ring. I need to verify if they are related. It appears that Estera may be Paulina's mother, Jakob may be Paulina's father and Fradla Pessa may be Paulina's older sister. These are from the JewishGen website. Estera's occupation is listed as Schneider which google translates as dressmaker. I could not find a translation for Jakob's occupation "buroangest". Both Paulina and Fradla's occupations are listed as Schuelerin which translates as student.
Question: I appear to have hit a road block on locating further information. I have utilized the websites and links suggested, but am unable to locate any further details on Paulina such as her full birth date. According to the Yad Vashem website, I learned that Paulina Ring perished in the Shoah, but cannot locate a date of death. Do you have any other suggestions on sites to review for this information?
Concluding Comment: I believe I have exhausted all websites in my search for further information on Paulina Ring. After searching all the sites listed within USHMM, as well as conducting google searches, I have not been able to locate any further information. I would hope that one day, more documents are available online so that future researchers may locate further details about Paulina and complete her story. Thank you.
