The Skulener Rebbe remained in Eastern Europe following the end of World War II, actively seeking to repatriate Jewish children who had been hidden among Gentiles to escape certain death. In 1959 he and his son (and successor), R. Yisroel Avrohom Portugal (1923-2019) were jailed by the Communist authorities in Romania for their activities in encouraging Jewish education. After much political pressure, they were released and emigrated to New York three years later.
