Evidence-backed claims

Auguste Einstein Saalfeld and Ignatz Saalfeld were parents of Caecilie; Caecilie and Max Wortsmann were parents of Edith Karola; Edith married Ruben Silverstein.

Rubin Milton Silverstein's contemporary obituary directly identifies Edith Silverstein as his wife. S-027's certified death record names Mrs. Max Wortsman as Auguste's daughter; related file correspondence explicitly calls Cecilie Wortsman nee Saalfeld the daughter of Auguste and Ignatz, strengthening the first parent-child link. S-028 independently repeats that relationship in Auguste's signed application and counsel's family submissions. The remaining links in this composite chain are strongly supported by the existing family and published evidence, but S-027's Cunard confirmation describes the Wortsmann children only by age and does not name Edith.
