R' Aron Kotler told people to remain in Europe when WWII broke out, but he managed to escape to the USA, Sounds familiar?

Description of letter to R' Gedalya Schorr from R' Aron Kotler!
From Jeffrey Woolf, senior lecturer at Bar-Ilan




This is a description of a letter from Rav Aharon Kotler זצ,ל to R. Gedalya Schorr זצ"ל, the Rosh Yeshiva of Yorah VaDaas. It speaks for itself. I'd only add, that my wife's uncle, R. Moshe Haim Bergstein הי"ד, was a student in Kletzk and managed to obtain a certificate of entry to Eretz Yisrael from Dr. Zerach Warhaftig זצ"ל. R. Kotler told him not to go to Palestine, that he should wait in Kovno for a visa to the United States. R. Kotler left for the US, and R. Moshe Haim made it to the Ninth Fort.
