Nem vagyok magyar....איך בין נישט קיין אונגארישער

Reb Hirshel

I am a long-time reader of the blog. I'm very happy to see that you're continuing writing, despite the hardships involved. Might I share you with you something I found interesting. This Shabbos I fell upon a war memoir book, memories of Reb Yosef Meir Markowitz, a סופר סת"ם born in Makeve, a satmar chusid who went to the בעלזער רב and saw big מופתים. Very thick book, chock full of anecdotes, both pre war and and post war.  He was with the klauzenburger ruv during the war and saw in him major גדלות. Now to the point:  Of all people the chabadnik Reb Avrohom Mayorer (dba Drizin) popped in on him and checked him out and forced him to help קה"ת in the USA print ספרים in Munchen, Germany. He slept in his kitchen and said I can sleep on a bench I'm not a Hungarian....
