About this Book
Usually, prisoners who had been arrested by command of Czar Nicholas didn't survive the ordeal. The Ruzhiner Rebbe, however, escaped to freedom. How was the miraculous escape carried out? How did it involve Rav Meir'l of Premishlan, one of the greatest Tzaddikim of the generation? Who is General Biberkov? Is he an evil officer or a truly righteous Gentile? And lastly, we meet Shimon the wagon-driver. He was a pious young man who spiraled downward...but on the orders of Rav Meir of Premishlan, he merited playing a pivotal role in the Rebbe's escape. How did it all fall into place? Read all about it in this fascinating comics book. The historical events were drawn from reliable and accurate sources, in addition to the legacy that's been passed down in Chassidic courts throughout the generations.
