Rare text of a tragic sermon delivered immediately prior to the escape from Hungary of the Grand Rabbi of Belz to the safety of Palestine. Within the sermon (pp. 18-19) the Rebbe assures his followers that Hungarian Jewry will remain safe from the Nazi horrors that had befallen the Jews elsewhere in Europe. Of course within months, almost a half-million Hungarian Jews were savagely murdered by the Germans and their Hungarian accomplices via massive deportations to the Auschwitz extermination camp.
