Pages of my life: As a youth in the shtetl, as a student in Yeshiva, as a soldier in Palestine, as a rabbi in America / Haskel Lindenthal

Rabbi Haskel Lindenthal was born in Poland in 1916 and came to the United States via Palestine in 1940. from the dust jacket: "He takes us on his journey...childhood days as one of seven siblings in Wyzan...years in Suvalk, Grodno, Vilna and Mir as a student in Poland's yehsivos...nights as guardian of his people in the Hagganah of Palestine...days and nights as Rabbi of his community in America. He introduces us to Chofetz Chayim and the Chazon-eesh whom he met, studied under and worked for. He speaks of defeating the Angel of Death on several occasions, but nothing would protect him from the devastation of a burned-out house, the frustrations of a language barrier or the eternal agony caused by the murder of his entire family by the Nazis. Still he writes of Faith and Hope."
