He’s buried right behind Rav Shimon Alter his maternal grandfather. Rav Shimon was a younger brother to the Sfas Emes. Rabbi Yitchock Meir Alter was also the son-in-law of the Imrei Emes.
IT LOOKS LIKE A MISTAKE
REB ITSHE MEIR FROM POLAND IS NOT THE SAME ONE FROM THE LOWER EAST SIDE
Please clarify because the Reb I”M from the LES did go back to Poland.
