註釋A biography of Rabbi Levenstein (born in Warsaw in 1885), known as the "Mashgiach", who was one of the most inspiring Jewish religious figures of his generation in Europe at the beginning of World War II, in Shanghai with the Mir Yeshiva during the war, and in Israel after the war. While the Nazis murdered a large proportion of the Jews in Lithuania, including from Mir, the whole Mir Yeshiva was rescued from Lithuania via Russia and Japan. Two rescuers who were honorary consuls in Kovno, Sugihara of Japan and Zwartendijk of Holland, provided travel documents that enabled members of the yeshiva to find refuge in Shanghai, where the teachers and students continued their study and religious devotion throughout the war years. Presents the Holocaust from an ultra-Orthodox perspective, stressing Divine miracles that preserved the lives and traditional Jewish way of life of the "Mashgiach" and many of those inspired by him.
