Yerushat HaPleita - Responsa by Hungarian Rabbinic Leaders who were Murdered in the Holocaust - Budapest, 1946
Yerushat HaPleita, "Collection of responsa from the rabbinic leaders of Hungary, most of whom were killed in sanctification of G-d's name at the time of the decree in 1944, may their blood be avenged." Budapest, [1946]
Printing of the book began before the Holocaust and stopped due to the events. Some of the manuscripts prepared for printing the book were lost during the war. The printing was completed after the war under its present name, from the material that was found. At the end of the book, there is a list of over 300 Hungarian rabbis who were killed in the Holocaust. The gaon Rabbi Moshe Aryeh Freund, who is on the list [due to misinformation that he was among those killed] was actually not killed in the Holocaust, he actually immigrated to Israel after the Holocaust.
[4], 104, [4] pages. 29 cm. Original, slightly faded binding. A few tears on the title page. Fine condition.
