School #5 was a school that taught both boys and girls. Most students were between 7 and 15 years old, meaning that they were born between 1926 and 1934.
School #5 was located at Ulica Limanoskiego 45. The street name was changed to Alexanderhof when German occupation began in 1939. See
www.lodz-ghetto.com for a map of Ulica Limanoskiego and the rest of the Lodz ghetto.

The search results for "Fajwel Dzialowski" brought back one hit. The birthdate if Fajwel lands on 1/6/1924 [June 1, 1924] which fits the time frame for the students which makes me think that he was one of the Children of Lodz.
Approver Comment:
I agree that Fajwel born in 1924 is the most likely candidate to have signed the album with this name, even though his date of birth puts him a little bit older than what we would expect for school #5 in 1941 (but everything is always possible in the ghetto in wartime). I'm going to mark this record as possible for now, but I hope we find more evidence to support that this is the right Fajwel! Thank you for listing his addresses; see you in stage 2.

Having used the Prisoner Registration, Transport and Death Lists sources, I found "Fajwel Dzialowski" but under a different birthdate. In stage 1 I had marked his birthdate on June 1, 1924 but in stage 4 I found a "Fajwel Dzialowski" with a birthdate of May 6, 1927 putting this Fajwel at 3 years younger, could this be a better fit for a student at a "School #5"?
Also, the Prisoner Registration, Transport and Death Lists provided the place of birth for "Fajwel Dzialowski" at Lodz. It gave us the date of arrival at the Buchenwald camp on January 23, 1945. It marked him as a "Schuler-Student" and marked his prisoner category as a Pole Jude.
With this new found information, could this be our "Fajwel Dzialowski" instead?
Approver Comment:
You're right--1927 would be a better fit for school #5. I believe you've found the right person. What an incredible find! I wonder why there is no record of him in the database on stage 1, but that is one of the great unanswerable historical questions, I suppose. What do you think? Can you find anything else out about this Fajwel?
Thank you for sharing this with us!
