# JPress sweep — Avraham ("Abram", "Avramek") Kutner — queries re-run with per-hit classification, namesakes, coverage limits and new items — 2026-10-27

**Subject.** Avraham Kutner (b. Ozorków 15.8.1928 per the Mauthausen card, "1930" in postwar lists; Łódź ghetto; Auschwitz 22.8.1944; Mauthausen no. 133332; Selvino; ship "Chaim Arlosoroff" 1947; kibbutz Tze'elim; Dimona; d. 18–19.3.1986, buried Beersheba). Wife Tzipora née Blam (see `../../../tzipora-kutner/docs/jpress/jpress_NEGATIVES_sweep_tzipora-kutner_2026-10-27.md`).
**Date.** 2026-10-27. **Server.** JPress (National Library of Israel, Historical Jewish Press) via `jpress_search`, `jpress_get_article`, and `jpress_fetch_raw` (raw Veridian JSON, used to recover PAGE-type hits whose ids `jpress_search` hides, and to get text snippets).
**Copyright.** Page images are locked; only OCR text was read. This file records article ids, dates, titles and at most one short quotation (15 words or fewer) per hit. All OCR is noisy and unproofread.

## Canaries (run first, all green)
- JPress: `jpress_get_article dav19531021-01.2.56.1` returned the known 21.10.1953 kvutza board notice (item readable); `jpress_list_publications` answered (2,365 titles).
- Positive controls (the engine finds known items by the exact query forms used below): `"קוטנר אברהם"` finds `lakkarov19470324-01.2.4` (the known ship list, page 2); `"באלן צפורה"` finds `lakkarov19470324-01.2.2` (page 1); `"אברהם קוטנר"` finds `dav19531021-01.2.56.1`; `"קוטנער אזאָרקאָוו"` finds `najerfolksblatlodz19370827-01.2.79`.
- Zero-hit searches are real answers: the server strips the invalid JSON NLI returns for a no-hit search (fix of 2026-08-26), so "0" here is not an error.
- Other servers' canaries are listed in `../NEGATIVES_camps-dp-sweep_N-15_2026-10-27.md`.

## JPress coverage limits — measured today (query "ישראל", date and publication filters)
| What | Measured | Consequence |
|---|---|---|
| Maariv `mar` | 525,180 sections; last indexed 30.4.1992 (`mar19920430-01.2.2`). **March 1986: 0 sections** (Feb 1986: 1,387; Apr 1986: 1,409). 19–21.3.1986: 0 | A Maariv death notice for 19–21.3.1986 cannot be found: the month is not in the index |
| Davar `dav` | 485,178 sections; last indexed 30.6.1985 | No Davar for 1986 |
| Haaretz `haretz` | 319,847 sections; last indexed 31.12.1971 | No Haaretz after 1971 |
| Hadashot `hadashot` | 110,215 sections; last indexed 29.11.1993; March 1986 partial (766 sections) | Only daily present in the death window |
| 19–21.3.1986, all titles | 205 sections: hadashot 87, hairtlv 45, ajnm 26, kolhair 21, bamahane 14, kotert 10, dapimramatdavid 2; ADVERTISEMENT-type sections containing "ז"ל": 2 (hadashot 19.3.1986 p.12 col.1; kotert) | Obituary column coverage for the three days after the death is nil/near nil |
| 1992 | 19,686 sections (hadashot 10,777; mar 6,425; bamahane 983; ajnm 946; ...) | Last year with dailies |
| 1996 | 804 sections (bamahane 510; lbf 134; shemhamishak 66; ...) | No dailies |
| 2001–2005 | 3,003 sections (bamahane 1,137; lbf 618; eretzh 481; shemhamishak 421; ...) | No dailies |
| Jan–Feb 2006 | 48 sections: lbf 24, eretzh 17, hakivunmizrah 7 | No dailies: no mourning notice for 27.1.2006 can exist here |

So the earlier row N-5 ("מודעת אבל, מרץ 1986, JPress 'קוטנר' — אפס") is a **coverage gap, not a negative**: JPress holds no Maariv issue for March 1986, no Davar and no Haaretz at all for that year.

## How hits were classified
`"יואב קוטנר"` (Yoav Kutner, Galei Zahal radio host and pop-music figure) is present on 3,046 JPress sections (programme listings in Maariv, Hadashot, Bamahane 1978–2001). Every co-occurrence query for the bare surname is dominated by him. Method for the large sets: (1) fetch the full hit list as raw JSON; (2) subtract the hits that also match the phrase `"יואב קוטנר"` with the same co-term; (3) read the residual through text snippets from a master list of all 1,723 post-1944 sections that contain "קוטנר" and not "יואב" (query `קוטנר -יואב`, 1944–2012). Hits that contain "יואב" and "קוטנר" without the exact phrase (OCR-broken forename, e.g. "•ואב", "1אב", "זאב") are listed as "Yoav Kutner presumed (programme page)". Grades: **ours**, **namesake (reason)**, **irrelevant**, **unresolved (לא הוכרע)**, **NEW**.

### B-6. `קוטנר`, 1.3.1986 – 30.4.1986 — 48 hits
44 = phrase "יואב קוטנר" (Maariv, Hadashot, Hair, Kotert, Bamahane, radio/TV listings and interviews, 2.3 – 29.4.1986). The other four: hadashot19860302-01.2.201 (programme "רדיו רדיו — קוטנר": Yoav), kolhair19860418-01.2.91 (a column on a radio character "מאקס קוטנר, הפרופסור המטורף"), hadashot19860429-01.2.80 (a letter on the radio), bamahane19860409-01.1.21 (interview page of Yoav). **There is no ADVERTISEMENT-type hit (the type of death notices) at all**, and the only hits between 19.3.1986 and 31.3.1986 are two weekly magazines (kotert19860319-01.2.19, hairtlv19860321-01.2.148), both about Yoav Kutner. Given the coverage table above (no Maariv for March 1986; no Davar/Haaretz; Hadashot partial), the March window is an absent source, not evidence of absence. For April 1986 the Maariv index is present (1,409 sections, 273 of them advertisements) and holds no advertisement-type section with "קוטנר" (the 30-day memorial would fall about 17–18.4.1986).

## C. Not done / blockers
- JPress page images are locked (copyright): only OCR was read; no page image was viewed.
- `jpress_search` hides the ids of PAGE-type hits (shown as empty titles); all PAGE hits above were recovered through the raw JSON.
- Maariv March 1986, Davar after June 1985, Haaretz after 1971 and any daily after 1993 are not in JPress: death and memorial notices for 1986 and 2006 cannot be searched here.

## D. NEW items (not in the report or in the "already known" lists), with the reason each might matter
| # | Section id | What it says (OCR) | Why it matters | Grade |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| D-1 | **hzh19520318-01.2.49** (HaTsofeh 18.3.1952) | At the Be'er Sheva rabbinate: "אברהם קיטנר . צאלים. רוק" and "צפורה בלם צאלים רוקה" (both of Tze'elim, bachelor and spinster). Another Tze'elim couple precedes them ("יעקב מריאש", "חנה מיגץ"; OCR) | The couple's marriage registration: date (about March 1952), place (Be'er Sheva rabbinate), both single, both at Tze'elim, Tzipora's maiden name "Blam". Fits the daughter's account that they married at the Be'er Sheva rabbinate and returned to the kibbutz the same evening; the report has no marriage date | near-certain (כמעט ודאי): two rare names together, same kibbutz, marital status; surname printed "קיטנר" |
| D-2 | **hbkr19470120-01.2.32** (HaBoker 20.1.1947) | "אברהם קיטנר מארזי. מתבקש על ידי קרוביו בחו"ל. פרטים אצל: [Fedshman/Shedman], Tel Aviv, HaTachana St. 7" | Relatives abroad were seeking an Avraham Kutner "of Ozorków (?)" in January 1947, a month before the Cyprus deportation, when he was in Italy. A contact in Tel Aviv is named. "מארזי" is probably a truncation of אוזורקוב (OCR/typesetting) | possible (אפשר ש…), and doubtful: the "sought" column lists people in Palestine sought from abroad, while our Avraham was then in Italy; a Tel Aviv Avraham Kutner (in Palestine from 1921; Maariv 26.12.1976) fits as well |
| D-3 | **hzh19490509-01.2.31** (HaTsofeh 9.5.1949) | Haifa rabbinate marriage registrations: "מרדכי … מלוטק, חיפה" immediately followed by "שרה קוטנר, חיפה" | Possible marriage registration of Avraham's sister Sara (Sala) with Mordechai Mlotek; the report gives their marriage only as "to be verified" with no date. "Mlotek" is an uncommon surname; the adjacency is OCR order only (names in this list run in columns, not necessarily in couples) | probable (ככל הנראה); to be verified against the Haifa rabbinate register |
| D-4 | **dav19460301-01.2.54** (Davar 1.3.1946, notices) | "סלה קוטנר מאוזורקוב (פולין) מחפשת את סימה קורמן פפלויס. לפנות קיבוץ 'גשר' לסלה קוטנר" | Sala Kutner of Ozorków was at kibbutz Gesher in March 1946 and was looking for a Sima Korman (OCR variants in the notice: first mention "קופנר", second "קוטנר"; town "מאוזורקזב"; second surname "פפלויס"). The report has no date for Sara's arrival in Palestine | probable (ככל הנראה): name, town of origin and the aunt named in D-5; other Sala/Sura Kutners of the Łódź records are not excluded |
| D-5 | **lakkarov19460516-01.2.13** (Lakrov Velarahok 16.5.1946, Jerusalem bureau) | "קורמאן סימה, מפלונסק (בת אחיה שרה קוטנר מאוזורקוב) 30054" | The aunt (Sima Korman of Płońsk, in Palestine) matched with "her brother's daughter Sara Kutner of Ozorków", file 30054: a paternal aunt of Avraham and Sara not in the family tree (the tree has aunts Rivka, Faiga, and uncle Fishel) | possible (אפשר ש…) |
| D-6 | **ahr19460123-01.2.33** (Al HaMishmar 23.1.1946); **hbkr19460123-01.2.29**, **hbkr19460124-01.2.35** (HaBoker 23–24.1.1946) | Lists of the "Enzo Sereni" ma'apilim (reached Haifa, held at Atlit): Al HaMishmar names "שרה קוטנר" among the Hashomer Hatzair group from Poland; HaBoker of 23.1 gives her birth year as 1924 and the full list of 24.1 gives "קוטנר שרה (22)" and, a few lines later, a second Sara Kutner aged 23 | Sara's aliyah (January 1946, 22–23 years old; the report: b. 14.8.1922). Two Sara Kutners were aboard, so which one is she is not settled | possible (אפשר ש…) |
| D-7 | **haretz19421117-01.2.66** (Haaretz 17.11.1942, Jewish Agency information bureau) | "סימה קורמן בסאמארקאנד — אל שלום כהן ויוסף נויפלד" | A Sima Korman was a refugee in Samarkand in 1942, writing to Palestine; plausible the same Sima Korman as D-5 (identity not proven) | to be verified (טעון אימות) |
| D-8 | **lakkarov19470403-01.2.7** (3.4.1947) | entries 44956–44958, e.g. "(בת אחיהם, האניה בת אברהם קוטנר)" (the other entries name Zolberg Noah and Sara née Kutner, Berlinski Dvora née Kutner, Goldschmidt Avraham) | Palestine residents (aunts Sara Zolberg and Dvora Berlinski, both née Kutner) searching "Hania, daughter of Avraham Kutner of Łódź", in Germany. Not our Avraham (a father), but a Kutner family of Łódź not yet in the tree | unlinked; kin not proven |
| D-9 | **shar19450712-01.2.5** (Sha'arim 12.7.1945) and **lakkarov19450712-01.2.27** | "ישראל קוטנר מאלכסנדר ליד לודז, נכדו של הרה"צ ר' ישעיהו … ניצל במחנה דאכאו"; Lakrov: "ידיעה בשבילו מישראל קוטנר ששוחרר בדכאו" | A Dachau-liberated Israel Kutner of Aleksandrów, grandson of a tzaddik, in July 1945. Arolsen has Dachau no. 110139, Israel Kutner b. 14.1.1912 "Alexandrov" (docs 130432428, 10164168, 10690327), which would fit this man; if so he is not the unresolved Dachau Izrael Kutner b. 13.11.1897 Litzmannstadt no. 96029 (docs 130432198, 10690326) | helps narrow the Dachau row: the press item is probably about no. 110139, leaving no. 96029 open |
| D-10 | **dav19670628-01.2.54.3** (Davar 28.6.1967, Six-Day War condolence ad to the Haifa Tzur family) | "צפורה ואברהם קוטנר" among signatories with the Dimentman family and the Burstein family of Montevideo | A couple with exactly our first names; bereaved are Avraham, Pnina and Eitan Tzur (Haifa; the father a former POW in Germany) | low probability: no place, no kibbutz; unresolved |
| D-11 | **ahr19491004-01.2.44** (Al HaMishmar 4.10.1949, HIAS inquiry list) | "קוטנר בנימין נולד ב־1914 בקונסטנטין ע"י לודז, מקודם בקפריסין" | A Kutner from the Łódź region, ex-Cyprus, in Israel in 1949; (also lakkarov19461003-01.2.9: "דוד קוטנר מקונסטאנטינוב") | possible relative; weak |

## Summary
The re-run of the exact-name queries reproduces the known items (24.3.1947 ship list; 21.10.1953 notice; 1937 Ozorków item) and shows that every other "אברהם קוטנר" in JPress is a namesake (a Jerusalem candidate of 1920, the Rabbi of Lod, the Tel Aviv Poalei-Zion Avraham who died on 26.12.1976, a retired printer, an Ata worker, and others); the co-occurrence queries with צאלים, דימונה, באר שבע and March–April 1986 yield nothing about him, because their hits are almost all the radio host Yoav Kutner. The 1986 obituary cannot be found in JPress at all, since the index holds no Maariv for March 1986 and no Davar or Haaretz for that year. The sweep, however, found by the variant spelling "קיטנר" the most useful item so far: HaTsofeh of 18.3.1952 lists Avraham and Tzipora Blam, both of Tze'elim, registering for marriage at the Be'er Sheva rabbinate. It also gave a probable January 1947 notice that relatives abroad sought him as an Avraham of Ozorków, and a chain of items for his sister Sara: ma'apilim list of January 1946, kibbutz Gesher in March 1946, the aunt Sima Korman in May 1946, and a probable 1949 marriage registration with Mordechai Mlotek.
