School #5
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

User Comment:
How we found out this was our girl is by simply entering her full name into the data base. Since we had her full name, only one possible person came up, exact name. So we crossreferenced each person in order to make sure all the information matched up and like I said before, even though it makes her slightly out of the age range, it could have been an exception or a typo. If theres anything else you need us to explain feel free to ask.

Thanks for reentering the birthdate correctly. I agree with your process and look forward to seeing what you find in the next stages.

I agree that you have found the Chana who signed the album. As you suggest, in 1941, she would have been just a bit older than the appropriate age to have attended school #5: born in 1925, she would have been 16 years old, not unreasonable for the confusion of the ghetto (or perhaps a data entry error?).
Unfortunately, you've entered the birthdate as April 3, not March 4 (she was born on March 4, 1925)--enter the day first, then the month, then the year when you reenter it into the "date" field, and I'll be able to confirm your research on this stage. Thanks!
