Mentor to R. Itzikel of Przeworsk-Antwerp, R. Chona Halberstam of Koloschitz (Kalaszyce) (1884 -1943), was a prominent pre-war Chassidic leader. His grandfather was R. Yechezkel of Shiniva, the oldest son of R. Chaim of Sanz. His father-in-law was R. Moshe Halberstam of Bardiev. Interestingly, one of the requests in the “kvittel” is that the Rebbe “should advise how to escape from Bardiev.” R. Choneh, his wife and his children were murdered by the Germans. See Y. Alfasi, Traklinei HaChassiduth p. 766 no. 64; T. Rabinowicz, Encyclopedia of Hasidism, p. 174.
