In the dark period of World War II, Rabbi Zalman Schneerson stood out as a beacon of light and hope. His larger-than-life, audacious personality and his unwavering faith in God enabled him to accomplish what seemed impossible.

During the Nazi occupation of France, he established an orphanage where he cared for hundreds of bereft Jewish children, providing them not only with safety and support, but also with regular Torah classes throughout those dangerous years.

“His granddaughter, Sterna Citron, did a phenomenal job in researching that period and producing an exciting historical work.”

— Rabbi Gershon Schusterman
