Editing Rebbetzin Chana Schneerson (section)

== The Rebbetzin's Memoirs ==
In New York, Rebbetzin Chana wrote down her life experiences in Soviet Russia. These life chronicles are full of hardships but also filled with spiritual strength and self-sacrifice. The Rebbetzin gave a typed copy of these memoirs to Chassidic writer Nissan Gordon to publish in Di Yiddishe Heim, which were indeed published there in a series of articles in 5724, with additional details from interviews Nissan Gordon conducted with the Rebbetzin, omitting all parts about Rabbi Levi Yitzchak's suffering (as per the Rebbetzin's request, who wished not to pain the Rebbe with the painful information).

About 15 years later, Rabbi Eliyahu Alter Friedman from Tzfat compiled the book "Em B'Yisrael" and translated these memoirs into Hebrew, reorganizing them chronologically. For some reason, all sections about Rabbi Levi Yitzchak's suffering were included in the book. In 5753, some students received the aforementioned copy of the memoirs, typed everything, and it was published in order in "Tzaddik L'Melech" booklet 4, typed according to the original writing order (not chronological order).

In 5772, the original notebook of the Rebbetzin's memoirs came into the possession of Vaad Hanachos B'Lahak, along with an additional notebook of memories she wrote later, including memories from the Rebbe's childhood up to her thoughts while watching the Rebbe at farbrengens after accepting the leadership.

The notebooks were transferred to the Agudas Chassidei Chabad Library.

Women who knew her personally relate that she was a rare personality. She suffered for many years, yet contained her pain and radiated joy in life.

==== Memories of R' Yosef Nimotin ====
R' Yosef Nimotin, son of the Chassid Rabbi Shmuel Nimotin, lived in Alma Ata, Kazakhstan during World War II and was involved in saving lives. He merited to serve and care for the Kabbalist Rabbi Levi Yitzchak Schneerson and Rebbetzin Chana Schneerson, the Rebbe's parents. During the 'Great Escape from Russia' in 5706, he entrusted Rabbi Simcha Gorodetzky with the shofar used by the Rebbe's father, which was inherited from the Tzemach Tzedek, to pass on to the Rebbe. Rabbi Nimotin remained in the Soviet Union until 5739, maintaining Rabbi Levi Yitzchak's holy gravesite, ensuring its cleanliness and upkeep. After leaving Russia, he settled in Crown Heights and received special attention from the Rebbe due to his closeness and assistance to his father.

His memories about Rabbi Levi Yitzchak and Rebbetzin Chana, the Rebbe's parents, were published in HaTamim issue 54, Beit Moshiach supplement Sukkot 5785.
