After further research, Israel Dubner's obituary can be found by preforming a google search. After surviving the holocaust he was a charter member of the USHMM and fought in the Israeli War of independence. He then moved to Lackawanna County, PA, where he became the Cantor at congregation Beth Shalom in Scranton, PA for 28 years. He died on december 4th, 2002 at the age of 78

Wow... That's really exciting information, but how do you know it is the same Izrael (Israel) Dubner? I wish his obituary had a birth date in it; so, we could confirm whether he was the boy who signed the album in 1941!

On a hunch, I just got our confirmation!!!

I went to the Social Security Death Index (which records deaths in the USA). They list a record for the same Israel Dubner who died on December 4, 2002. His birth date was June 21, 1924. He's the same person as the boy who signed the album. Wow.
