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.

User Comment:
I believe Franka Zylbersztajn was Franciszka Zlbersztajn born 18/11/1922 and she lived at Rembrandt 9 Flat 7. She also appears as Franciszka Zylbersztajn with the same address and birthdate.
Approver Comment:
I think you've come across the right person, and I'm pretty sure that Zlbersztajn is a typo--but we'll want to keep looking for that spelling, just in case. At almost 19 years old, she would have been the right age to be finishing gymnasium when the album was signed.
Looking forward to seeing what you've found in stage 2!

Approver Comment:
This piece of testimony is a great find. Thank you for clearing up the questions about the names of her parents. While it is likely that the information that Beniamin presents in the testimony page is accurate, we always want to make sure that we can substantiate claims made in testimony with cross-referenceable data from other valid sources. As soon as we find such records (if we do!), then we can mark this information as "confirmed." Thanks for helping to complete Franka's record, and I'll look forward to seeing what else you can find that confirms this information.
