Not necessary, what's more important is if they ask about it be prepared to tell them about it.
In the case you lost the contact or they moved to a diff firm and you weren’t in HR, would that just be your reason if probed?
I'd just include them to be consistent with your resume, if the reasoning doesn't come naturally. Making me curious about what the issue might be, is the reason for not including them because you think it may look bad?
Well I never was in HR and only had contact with one person, so that would be the reasoning for leaving it off. One of those local and unpaid internships that’s just tough to verify
That seems entirely valid. As long as you weren't fired from the job, or something otherwise concerning.
