Samuel Rosenberg
Samuel/Shmuel Rosenberg was Mendel and Shimon/Simon's father and Recha's husband. Geoff Silverstein confirmed the family identification on 25 September 2026 and reports that Samuel was shot and killed by Nazis soon after Germany invaded Lithuania. Earlier oral-history wording, institutional captions, and derivative records reverse Samuel and Simon; their role labels are retained as conflicting evidence. Camp catalog entries for a younger Samuel Rozenberg therefore are not attached to this person unless contemporary person-specific evidence establishes the identity. No exact death date or execution site is presently adopted.

Evidence-backed claims
Geoff Silverstein confirmed the family roles twice, most recently on 25 September 2026: Samuel/Shmuel was the father and Shimon/Simon was the brother detained with Mendel. S-121, S-088 and S-132 use the names in reverse. Because those published and family-derived accounts are not independent contemporary identity records, their role labels remain explicit contradictions rather than silently overriding the confirmed family identification.
Geoff Silverstein confirmed on 25 September 2026 that the murdered father was Samuel/Shmuel and that he was shot soon after the invasion. Mendel's published oral-history wording and a later U.S. Army account label the murdered father Simon, creating a name-role conflict that is preserved. The broad killing is family-confirmed; no exact date is adopted.
