    Acknowledgments:
    Many thanks:
    — To Dr. and Mrs. Theodore Fischbacher for the many hours of tedious proofreading of the English text and their fervent prayer support.
    — To Maria Slort, the youngest Rosenberg daughter, for wracking her memory for tidbits of information and for reading and correcting the final draft.
    — To Alexis Mihailitchenko, the late Home Office Administrator of the A.E.B.M., for many boring hours spent at the copying facility and for corresponding with several potential publishers.
    — To all who offered prayer support and encouragement to me during the many months of my journeying through often unchartered waters of hundreds of pages of old material in search of chronology and continuity in this remarkable story.
