Its Rabbi Chaim Elazar Spira and he died in 1937. The book is entitled "A Vanished World" by Roman Vishniac and it's Munkacs.

Is he actually related to Rabbi Shapira. I understand a Rabinovitch was his son in law ?

[yukeldukel]

The Rabbi featured in this clip is Grand Rabbi Moshe Leib Rabinovich, son of Rabbi Boruch Rabinovich who was the son in law of Grand Rebbe Chaim Elazar Spira, chief Rabbi of Mukachevo

[historicrecord]

Rabbi Elazur Shapira died in 1936 & archival footeage shows his daughters wedding in 1933 and both he & his son in law Rabbi Rabinovitch appear in the photo album of Vishinev entitled "Vanished World" with quite a few pre-war photos of Munkac.

ie he's Rabbi Shapira's Grandson.Presumably Rabbi Rabinovitch had a son before his wife died in 1945 ?

Rabbi Baruch Rabinovich had 5 children with his wife before she died in 1945. Rabbi Moshe Leib is the 3rd of the 5 children.
