Proof, finally!

That the Rebbe was enrolled in the Sorbonne in Paris. This is the only remaining record book that shows the students enrolled at that time. All other records were apparently destroyed during the student riots of 1968. He enrolled in November of 1937, after graduating from the ESTP in July of 1937. The date of birth used here is March 1, 1895, the same date used in the naturalization papers, as this was common practice at that time, to "make yourself" older, so as to avoid the draft etc.

I knew Reb Moshe Zev Reicer. I know his daughters, and I know the son, Yoel, who's interviewed in the JEM video about to be released. I always heard from him that he knew the Rebbe in the Sorbonne, and that he was a "Koodesh VeTooher." Yet for some reason I never put 2 and 2 together when all this discussion about the Rebbe and Sorbonne was going on. I guess the Yetzer HoRah wanted us to believe what was being written on certain blogs, and what Menachem Friedman was saying and writing. It all seems so simple now. How could we have been so stupid as to believe a bunch of revisionists and wannabe historians 70 years later?! It's a simple "Efsher LeKayem Shney'hem!"

I too need to go to the Ohel and beg Mechillah.
