Gymnasium and high school for girls
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.

Approver Comment:
Perla certainly seems the most likely match from the names listed in the Lodz Ghetto Database. Something in my gut makes me hesitate on listing this as anything more concrete than "possible," however. She would have been 21 years old in September 1941, which is pretty old for a gymnasium student. Also, there is a student listed in the database named Gita Pesa Lewkowicz (maiden name Kalman) who was born in 1924. It is possible that she was not yet married while in school, and that she might have gone by her middle name rather than her first.
