Biography
His Romanian Jewish father, Yankel Rosenthal, emigrated from Romania to Honduras in 1929.[4][5] His father married Esther Oliva from El Salvador.[6] Rosenthal held a BS degree in Civil Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and an MS degree from the MIT Sloan School of Management. He was one of the Vice Presidents (known as Designados Presidenciales) during the presidency of José Azcona del Hoyo (Jan. 1986-Jan.1990) and resigned because of political differences. He was also a Congressman in Honduras, (Jan. 2002 to Jan. 2006). A 2006 study by the Friedrich Ebert Foundation named Rosenthal one of "the most powerful men in Honduras" (along with Fredy Nasser and Schucry Kafie).[7]
Rosenthal died following a heart attack on January 12, 2019.[8] He was 82 years old. He was the father of Yani Rosenthal, who was a minister from 2006 to 2009 under Manuel Zelaya. His nephew, Yankel Rosenthal, is a former minister under President Juan Orlando Hernández.[9]

Banco Continental was founded in 1974 and until its closure in late 2015 was the eighth largest bank in Honduras,[10] forming part of Grupo Continental, itself founded in 1929[11] and owned by the Rosenthal family.[12]
