Detail Description

Letter by R. Yechezkel Levenstein, (Reb Chatzkel, 1895-1974), the mashgiach of the Mir yeshiva, in Mir, Belarus and during the yeshiva's flight to Lithuania and on to Shanghai due to the invasion of Poland by Nazi Germany in World War II. He was a leader of several yeshivas in Europe, America, and Israel, and raised several generations of Torah-observant Jewry. R. Levenstein was born in Warsaw. His mother died when he was just five years old.
