School #17 was a school for girls in the Lodz ghetto; school #17b met in the afternoon. In 1941, students ranged in age from 9 to 15 years, meaning they were born between 1926 and 1932.
School #17 was located at Młynarska 25. The street name was changed to Mühlstrasse when German occupation began in 1939. See www.lodz-ghetto.com for a map of Młynarska and the rest of the Lodz ghetto.

User Comments:
Must have moved because I found two addresses.
Approver Comments:
We almost always find multiple addresses for students in the ghetto, and we're tracking them to look for patterns of how they moved in the ghetto, so thanks for entering both addresses. I agree this is the right student; in the future, please leave a comment explaining how you figured out who it was.
