Letter of recommendation 1934 – Rabbi SHMUEL DOVID UNGAR, "Nitra Rav".
Handwritten and signed letter from Rabbi Shmuel Dovid Ungar (1885–1945), Rabbi and Av Bet Din of Nitra, Slovakia. Granting the recommendation for his "beloved" student - Yechiel Michel Lindner.
Rabbi Shmuel Dovid Ungar: was Rav of Korompa, Trnava, and last in Nitra, where his Yeshivah was the last surviving yeshiva in occupied Europe during World War II.
After the Nitra Yeshiva was liquidated in September 1944, rav Ungar and his son spent the winter hiding in mountain caves and subsisting on starvation rations. While terror and fear were others' constant companions, he was concerned with how to fulfill the mitzvah of hearing the shofar blasts on Rosh Hashanah.
Rav Ungar was niftar 8 Adar 5705, and after the war, his son re-interred him in Piešťany, his birthplace, next to the grave of his father.
He was the father-in-law of Rabbi Chaim Michael Dov Weissmandl, and played a minor role in the Bratislava Working Group's efforts to save Slovak Jews from the Holocaust.
