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.

Okay... So here's a weird coincidence (possible lead??).
The list of prisoners on the October 26, 1944 transport of Jews from Auschwitz to Stutthof includes a Polish Jew named "Gustav Rubinowicz" who was born on 16.11.1926. Gustav's gender is not identified (though normally I'd assume it is a man and not a woman). I know what you're thinking... This is a long shot. It's probably a guy and the birth dates aren't close to a match. However, Gustav Rubinowicz pops up again in Natzweiler, except now his birth date is 26.10.1926, which looks a lot more like Gustawa's birthday of 27.10.1924. Who knows?

Hmmm... I just took another look, and apparently the October 26, 1944 transport was solely made up of men. So, I guess it was too much to hope for. Alas.
