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 found no results for the name Sonia Kochanska, but through research I discovered that Sonia is a common nickname for Sara. The birthdate for Sara Kochanska also fits the time period in which Sonia must have been born in order to attend Gymnasium.
Approver Comment:
The birth date and occupation of "schuelerin" are good indicators, but I'm not convinced that Sonia and Sara are necessarily the same person. What are your sources for Sonia being a common nickname for Sara?
