Letter by Rebbe Yerachmiel Meir of Amshinov - About the Journey of his Father the Amshinov Rebbe and his Family from Kobe to Shanghai during the Holocaust
Long interesting autograph letter, signed by Rebbe Yerachmiel Meir Kalish. Kobe (Japan), [September 1941].
In this letter, sent to Shanghai, Rabbi Meir'l writes his family's plan to travel from Kobe to Shanghai led by their father, Rabbi Shimon Shalom of Amshinov. Moreover, he writes of the "terrible situation of the yeshiva students and the rest of the refugees". He requests that a residence be arranged in Shanghai for his father the rebbe.
31 lines in his own handwriting signed: "Yer. Y. Meir Kalish."
Rebbe Meir'l of Amshinov - Rebbe Yerachmiel Yehuda Meir Kalish (1901-1976), son of Rebbe Shimon Shalom Kalish of Amshinov miraculously survived the Holocaust with the family of his father the Amshinov Rebbe, who fled with the wave of refugees who escaped Europe to Kobe, Japan and to Shanghai. After the war, he immigrated to the US and after his father's death in 1954 he immigrated to Eretz Israel. A great ohev Yisrael, he whole-heartedly served G-d. His daughter's son is the current Amshinov Rebbe Ya'akov Milikowsky.
