• Hersz-Lejb Rozenberg certificate FRONT, high-res (Facebook): Nr. R-53/1/40, b. 29 I 1918 Warszawa, single, subiekt, issued 3 Feb 1940
  The certificate settles a question the register leaves open. It is made out to Rozenberg Hersz-Lejb - the register carries the given name as 'Gersz-Lejb / Hersz-Lejb?', and the document spells it Hersz, as does the bearer's own signature. It records his birth on 29 January 1918, agreeing with the register's age of 22 in 1940; his birthplace as Warsaw, agreeing with the note that he was from Warsaw; and his trade as a shop assistant, which is the occupation the register records.
