    Boruch Dayan Emes. We have lost another link to the generation of the mesirus nefesh yidden who risked their very lives for Yiddishkeit during the days of the Iron Curtain. He outlived, and lived to see the end of, the reshoim ymach shmam who persecuted him in the former Soviet Union. Vehekitzu…vehu besoicham!
