== The Partisan Book == In 5765 (2005), a book chronicling his life story was published, edited by Rabbi Shneur Zalman Berger and published by Rabbi Levi Wilmowsky, Rabbi Zusha's son. The book contains 384 pages with descriptions and memories alongside letters, responses from private audiences, documents, and hundreds of photographs, many of which were published for the first time in this book. The book has been released in two editions so far. The book contains detailed descriptions including extensive material published for the first time about his early path, life stations, and roles: * Partisan in the Bielski unit during the Holocaust period * Became close to Chabad in the DP camps through Rabbi Shneur Zalman Levin * Founder and director of Tomchei Tmimim Yeshiva in Lod * Founder and director of the Oholi Yosef Yitzchak network in the Holy Land * Founder and director of the Nshei U'Bnos Chabad organization * Distributor of Chabad books on behalf of the Center for Education, Holy Land branch * Secretary of the Kfar Chabad committee * Member of the 71 Institutions committee * Chabad inspector in the Holy Land * Joint activism with Rabbi Yona Eidelkop * Advocacy for the release of Shalom Starks who was arrested regarding the Yossele Schumacher affair * Establishment of Beit Shazar * Advocacy for the appointment of Chabad rabbis as neighborhood and city rabbis in the Holy Land * Encouraged singing and joy at 770 * His passing in the guests' sukkah in the 770 courtyard * Lived with Moshiach * Letters from the Previous Rebbe to Rabbi Zusha Wilmowsky * Letters from the Rebbe to Rabbi Zusha Wilmowsky ==== Rabbi Zusha's Plan to Publish His Life Story ==== Rabbi Zusha considered publishing a book about the period of self-sacrifice during the Holocaust and his multifaceted activities following the Rebbe's instructions to serve as an example for young people. He outlined his plan to the Rebbe: "For several years, people have been encouraging me to write a book about my life experiences and about matters I know that were done in various fields. Such as: * a) From the time of war and the partisans, concentration and labor camps, and the self-sacrifice that existed then in connection with this. * b) Organization and development of Chabad matters in the Holy Land * c) Various matters related to this and various instructions. I thought to myself that since I need to invest great effort, exertion and organization, as well as recall everything, and invest funds, and there isn't time and ability for such a thing, especially since there is actual work according to the needs of the hour and that the Rebbe shlita encourages, etc., to act and activate others. On the other hand, since currently we can and there are people who can clarify these matters, we should utilize the time. And perhaps there will also be benefit for the public in this, so I said to myself that I will clarify for myself the essence of the matter with the Rebbe shlita." ==== The Partisan in English ==== In 5779 (2019), the Partisan book was published in English translation by his granddaughter Chaya Wilmowsky. The book contains 335 pages, including memories, holy letters, documents, and photographs.
