School #13 was a school for boys in Lodz. The students in #13b attended classes in the afternoon. Most students were between 10 and 15 years old, meaning that they were born between 1926 and 1931.
School #13 was located at Ulica Franciszkańska 29. The street name was changed to Franzstrasse when German occupation began in 1939. You can read more about the schools on Franciszkańska at

User Comment:
I believe "Abram Wajn" is the same as "Abraham Wajn", based on names. The database also lists Abram's birthdate as November 1, 1927, which is in the range we are looking at; he would've been fourteen years old when the record was submitted. Also, the database has him listed as a student for his occupation; he attended School 13B for boys, as listed in the name selection database.
Approver Comment:
Excellent work, and thank you for the great comment. Abraham and Abram often show up as analogues in the database. One note, though: there's an Abram Wejn who has the same addresses as Abram Wajn, and the birthdates are the same except one is 1927 and the other 1921--easy enough numbers to invert in transcription. Keep an eye on the databases in the later sections and see if you can figure out which is the right date of birth.
