In the current issue of Jewish Action, R. Pinchas Stolper reviews David Kranzler's biography of R. Solomon Schonfeld titled "Holocaust Hero." I flipped through my in-laws' copy of the book soon after it was published and found the following surprising fact:
On page 30, Dr. Kranzler writes that in 1932 or 1933, R. Schonfeld was studying for semikhah in a yeshiva in Slabodka (I think Knesses Yisrael) and, simultaneously, studying for a doctorate in a nearby university.
