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.

Good job... I think you found a match! In addition, note that Irena lived at several addresses in the ghetto, including DANZIGER 74, REITER 11 I, and JOSEL 1. She moved to or from this last address on 11.12.41 (December 11, 1941). Please proceed to Stage 2 of your research and enter the change of address date there. Again, great job!

Thanks for adding in the addresses.

User Comment:
Sophie/Zophia Hosch (b. 1893) could have been Irena's mother, as their addresses match up and by 1924 Sophie/Zophia would have been old enough to be her mother.

An Irena Hosch was on a Sharit HaPlatah list, and her last known location is listed as Sweden.
Approver Comment:
I agree that the name is the same. We don't yet have information linking Irena Hosch in the Sharit HaPlatah list to Irena in Lodz, but I will mark this as possible. I hope we are able to find more information linking them soon.
