Interesting article about Kroscienko, the name of the town where his father was the Rav. But please clarify the next statement:
“The rabbi of Kroscienko and the leader of Agudas Israel was Yehoshua Boimel, who had studied at the Yeshivat Khakhmei Lublin. He was later killed by the Nazis at the age of 30.”
Will the real Reb Yehoshua Boimel please stand up…
He is the great author of the famous response “Emeḳ halakhah”, which was lately nicely published in his third edition, by Mekhon Ginze Daṿid.
