"I'm seeking anyone with the following last names: STASIAK, SIEMIENSKI, ISYCKI, RADZICKI and MUSZYNSKI. I believe my father Henry CYMERMAN may have graduated with your relative >from a Warsaw gimnazjum in 1928. These students signed on the verso of a picture of the graduating class. Here is the link for response: http://www.jewishgen.org/ViewMate/responselist.asp?key=17396 I'm trying to learn the name of this gimnazjum. Student records are still available in the Warsaw archives, but they're filed by the name of the gimnazjum." Isabel, Names listed on the photograph's verso do not appear as being Jewish. Since your Dad went to study medicine he had to attend high school with the natural science major. In Warsaw in the late 20ies were eight (8) prestigious male Government Gimnazjum. You can eliminate >from the list five schools with the humanistic studies (humanities) profiles. Thus left only three schools left for a consideration (those top schools were identified by the patrons names): Stefan Batory Gymnasium located on 6 Mysliwiecka Street Tadeusz Czacki Gymnasium located on 21 Kapucynska Street Tadeusz Rejtan Gymnasium located on 4 Ksiazece Street. Rejtan school has actually combined all profiles (humanistic and math/science) In addition, to the Government Gimnazjum, Warsaw also had city Gimanzjums, identified by the street locations. And again, >from five city Gmnazjum, three humanistic types can be eliminated thus two will be on your list: 2 Mlynarska Street Gymnazjum 18, 3 Maja Street Gymnazjum I should also mention that there also were 25 male privately own male Gymnazjums, including Jewish Chinuch and Laor. Hope this help Alexander Sharon Calgary, AB |
