The Fisch family was among the patriarchs of Chassidism in Hungary through the generations. Rabbi Yechizkiah Fisch was very great in Torah and its revealed and hidden aspects. After his father’s passing in 1928, many Jews flocked to him for counsel and blessings, and his name became world-renowned. He established an important yeshivah in his city, and taught many disciples. He was oppressed with suffering his entire life. In 1944, he was sent with members of his community to Auschwitz. All along the way, he encouraged them to become martyrs with love, and before entering the gas chambers, he recited the vidui confession enthusiastically, may his blood be avenged. ( Encyclopedia L’Chassidut II , p.189, Otzar HaRabbanim 9117). His son, Rabbi Eliezer Fisch, Av Beit Din of Mátészalka, survived the Holocaust and immigrated to Brooklyn, New York, where he became known as the Admo”r of Hodász, author of Noam Siach .
