Chaim Wolgelernter: "I was a close student and a writer of the lectures of the Ostrovtzer Rebbe (Rabbi Yechezkel Halshtock). During the Holocaust, from his hiding spot, he wrote a famous "kina", a type of eulogy poem. I have included an English translation of it (from the published diary "The Unfinished Diary: A Chronicle of Tears".)"
