5713-1953, at a farbrengen marking the ninth yahrzeit of his father, Rabbi Levi Yitzchak Schneerson, the Rebbe asked Rabbi Aharon Yaakov Diskin to share his memories of Rabbi Levi Yitzchok since they spent time together in exile. The Rebbe listened closely and wept as Rabbi Diskin described the Rebbe's father's suffering.
