RavYitzchak Shlomo Ungar had no biological children, but his kever is often surrounded by petitioners
In time, I heard a story from him that explained his deep, almost otherworldly connection to these words. During the war years, Rav Ungar was in the concentration camps, and one day, he was taken along with a group of others to be killed. He was beaten badly and left for dead, but as he lay there, he had a vision of his father. His father assured him that he would live, but he had to promise that if granted life, he would use it to spread Torah to talmidim.
Rav Ungar had no biological children, but his kever is often surrounded by petitioners. Rav Chaim Kanievsky suggests that people in need of salvation daven by the grave of this tzaddik and talmid chacham who lived to spread Torah.
