Rav Piekarski was my father a"h. (I live in CH). Your short biography is mostly right except for one fact. My father did not learn in Chachmei Lublin. He was long married by the time CL started. He was however a Talmud of the Kozikliver rov in the twenties.(he was born in 1905). The Kozikliver Rov became rosh yeshiva of CL after the passing of Rav Meir Shapiro,hence the error.
At what point in his life did he drop the Paylishe Rebbe of his youth and become a mekusher of Chabad. Asking respectfully.
Moshe - the Peylishe Rebbes of his youth were dropped by Hitler... He saw the Rebbe as a replacement, at least in the Torah aspect of them, which was their entire being..
