Gymnasium and high school for boys
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 boys 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.

User Comment:
To find J. Kamieniak, I searched the database for the exact last name (first name fuzzy) and pulled up Jakub Kamieniak. His date of birth is listed as 22.06.27 (which fits the age range for Gymnasium), and his occupation is listed as Schueler. There is also an ABG address of the Fischerstrasse address in his notes, but no date is given.
Expert Reviewer Comment:
I agree that this is the person who most likely signed this name in the album. In 1941 he would have been 14 years old, the right age to attend the Gymnasium and high school for boys. Nice work! Good luck on the next stages!
Approver Comment:
I also agree this is the correct person to have signed this name in the album. I look forward to seeing what you find in the next stages about the Fischstrasse address.
