R. Yechezkel Levenstein (1885-1974) was a leader of the mussar movement, product of the Kelm Talmud Torah. He was the Menahel Ruchani (spiritual administrator) of the Mir Yeshiva in Poland, Shanghai and Jerusalem. After R. Dessler's passing, he was appointed spiritual administrator of the Ponovezh Yeshiva in Bnei-Brak. A holy, pious man, he was known for his connection to G-d and his abstention from earthly pleasures (he was never seen leaning back in his chair, and other exceptional conducts). The effectiveness of his blessings and prayers was well known and many were saved through his blessings. During the Holocaust, while the Mir Yeshiva escaped to Vilna and the Far-East, his disciples saw clearly that his decisions and blessings were supernatural, directed by heavenly revelations. Or Yechezkel, Imrei Yechezkel, Avodat Yechezkel and more were published based on his discourses.
The printing of this edition was initiated by the head of the Mir Yeshiva R. Eliyahu Baruch Kamai and by his son-in-law R. Eliezer Yehuda Finkel. For some unknown reason, they wrote the name of the publisher as "C.Z.F. from the city of Mir" [R. Chaim Ze'ev Finkel who was a child under bar-mitzvah age at the time of printing], as well as the name of Binyamin Shmuelevitz from the city of Mir [written on the title page of the 1910 edition of Avnei Milu'im is the name of the publisher "C.Z.F. from the city of Mir", whereas in the second edition, the name was changed to "Binyamin Shmuelevitz of the city of Mir"].
