Chapter 1
The Miracle of Vilna
 
The march of thousands of yeshivah students over the war granary - Vilna becomes the greatest Torah center thanks to Rabbi Chaim Ozer - the in depth help of Litvish Jews for the Yeshivos that had to run away from Poland.
 
 
The miracle of Vilna:  that is what the march of thousands of Yeshivah students over the war granary was called.  And the great miracle of the divine providence that the great Yeshivos of Torah of Eastern Europe were saved.
 
Friday the 17th of Elul was Sept 1 1939 when the Nazis of Germany started the blitzkrieg against Poland and that is when the second world war started.  Two weeks later which was the 17th of September 1939 the Soviet Russians grabbed east Poland during the "Ribentrup Molotov Pact" which was written in Moscow on the eve of the world war.
 
Three and a half million Poland Jews were scattered in dozens of places.  From the west came hordes of Nazis whose march and intent was to spill Jewish blood and to make tons of decrees on the Jews.  From the east came the Russians who actually did not make pogroms like the Nazis did but made terrible decrees on the Jews.
