I received this piece of Torah this week from the "themaishiv" email newsletter.
"In the Sefer Written by the late
Gaon Harav Nosson Gestetner,
Zt'l On Chumash titled 'Lhoros Noson' volume 5 on Moadim it
Is quoted in the Name of Maharshab of chabad, zy'a who
During a Drosha delivered on Simchas Torah 99 years ago (5676) said that he has received f
rom his ancestors that the Magid of Mezritz,zy'a told the Ba'al Hatanya,zy'a that in every
Country there is some small spark of kedusha except for Germany where no spark exists..."
So I'm one who often points out the positive aspects of Germanic culture. I often say that the term Germanic is not necessarily synonymous with Germany as Holland, Scandinavia, and England are all Germanic.
Nevertheless, the idea put forth above should be considered.

If the above is correct, why did his grandson in law, the future seventh Lubavitcher Rebbe, stay there for years then?
