Status unchanged: **not resolved**, not in the tree (project folder `arolsen/Dachau-Izrael-Kutner-96029-candidate-father/`). New context: the 12.7.1945 press (Sha'arim, Lakrov Velarahok; see the JPress log) names a Dachau-liberated "Israel Kutner of Aleksandrów, grandson of a tzaddik", which would fit the other Dachau Kutner (no. 110139, b. 14.1.1912 "Alexandrov", docs 130432428, 10164168, 10690327) and not no. 96029 | טעון אימות |

## Not done / blockers
No blocker and no tool error. Limits: the Auschwitz database has no phonetic matching and its online index is of registered prisoners only; Arolsen results are index rows, not the unindexed folders (3.1.1.3 Italy lists, child-tracing file T/D 360.426); Pinpoint hits are document-level OCR of lists; JDC scan links expire. The 630/631 row numbers were taken from the project's earlier reading of the page, not re-read today.

## Summary
Nothing new about Avraham came out of the camp and DP databases: Auschwitz has 20 people under the Kutner, Kuttner and Mlotek spellings and none under Bandus or any given-name pair of the family; Arolsen shows 7 rows for 133332 (two being the known Mauthausen card), 73 rows across the name queries, none for Cywia, and no Abram from Ozorków or Łódź other than the card; JDC has 47 exact Kutners and the one Abram on the 1946 Italian aid list (person f4184e23…, with Sara as e5ca81b0…), still without a birth year; Pinpoint gives 49 document-level OCR matches that were not opened; the Ghetto Fighters' House (93 and 86 hits) and Massuah (24 and 3) hold only the two known Selvino items and unrelated Kutners. Two Arolsen rows are new to the project and both are context, not evidence about Avraham: another Sala Kutner (b. 1920) on the Łódź list material, and Dachau no. 110139 (Israel Kutner b. 1912 "Alexandrov"), which probably explains the Dachau-liberated Israel Kutner of the July 1945 press and so leaves no. 96029 as the open candidate.
