The back of the title page notes: “Published in the memory of the holy and pure spirits of close to 1,000 families from the town of my birth, the holy community of Ratzfert, killed in kiddush Hashem by the horrid Nazis…1944, in Auschwitz.”

Alongside the older approbations from the gedolim of chassidus: Rabbi Levi Yitzhak of Berdichev, Rabbi Yisrael Shabtai the Maggid of Kozhnitz, Rabbi Yaakov Yitzhak (the Chozeh of Lublin), and Rabbi Azriel Horwitz (known as the Rosh HaBarzel of Lublin). And a few later ones: Rabbi Yoel Teitelbaum of Satmar, Rabbi Aharon Kiddush Hashem of Belz, and Rabbi Pinchas of Ostila.
