Kitvei Kodesh – Slonim Hassidism – Printed at the Same Time that the Tragic News about the Rebbe's Murder had arrived! With Supportive Letters – Germany 1948. And Likutei Moharan – Regensburg 1947
A. Kitvei Kodesh Booklet, Windsheim, Germany 1948.
The book was published immediately after the Holocaust by the Slonim Chassidim. The tragic news about the Rebbe's murder arrived while the book was printed; therefore at the beginning of the book he is called "Shlita", while in the last pages he is mentioned with the title "Hashem Yikom Damo" (May God avenge his blood)!
The book contains a letter of "the Rebbe Shlita of Baranovichi, which arrived in the Holy Land on the eve of Passover 1941 while the darkness started covering the earth …" – implying that what happened to him was still unknown. Actually, he was killed in Cheshvan 1944, and was not among the living when this letter was printed. In it, he writes "it might be that it had been a mistake to remain here … and may the Merciful see the distress of His people…"
An additional letter from Sivan 1945 was added to the book. The letter was written by "Va'ad Chasidei Slonim" and was titled "Am Hashem Chizku Ve'Nitchazeka" (May God's nation strengthen and grow stronger). This letter was added to the book during its printing when the tragic news about the Rebbe's murder arrived. The letter is an attempt to strengthen the broken Hassidim. After it appears another supportive letter by Rabbi Mordechai Chaim of Slonim and Rabbi Yisrael Zalman Ha'Levi Shlovsky, one of the oldest Hassidim in Poland and the Land of Israel.
