You should keep silent! I personally knew mirrer yeshiva bochurim from mir that went through shangchai. If any one today would be like them he would be considered an extremes. They were frum and Ehrlich tzadikim masmidim etc…they looked modern in dress but that’s were it stopped. I knew Reb Ahron Kreizer. I Knew Reb Sholoim Shapiro. Reb Chaim Pinchos Scheinberg. They spent nights up.learning because it was so hot they kept wet towels on there head. I knew one that finished the whole Seder Noshim Gemoroh 70 times in Shanghai
besides for before and after. Reb Chaim ponchos was a maloch… Please keep being silent
Thanx
