 Reb Yosef Nimotin, son of the chassid Reb Shmuel Nimotin, lived in Alma Ata, Kazakhstan during World War II and was involved in saving lives. He merited to serve and care for the mekubal Reb Levi Yitzchak Schneerson and Rebbetzin Chana Schneerson, the Rebbe's parents. During the [[The Great Escape from Russia 1946|'Great Escape from Russia']] in 1946, he entrusted to R' Simcha Gorodetzky the shofar used by the Rebbe's father, which was inherited from the Tzemach Tzedek, to be delivered to the Rebbe. R' Nimotin remained in the Soviet Union until 1979 and maintained R' Levi Yitzchak's holy gravesite, ensuring its cleanliness and upkeep. After leaving Russia, he settled in [[Crown Heights]] and received special attention from the Rebbe due to his closeness and assistance to his father.

 == His Photograph ==
 The first photograph from exile in Chi'ili was printed in 1970 when his first two books were published - "Likkutei Levi Yitzchak" on the Zohar and Tanya. It was smuggled from Russia in passport photo size. When this photo was brought before the Rebbe, he wrote on the back of the chrome page "אאז"ל?" [My father, of blessed memory?]. Many claim this writing expressed the difficulty in identifying Reb Levi Yitzchak after the many sufferings he endured in Chi'ili. However, some claim that simply the Rebbe was noting who was photographed (his father's name - the person in the photo), and the 'question mark' was about the year the photo was taken.
+[[File:רבי לוי יצחק.jpg|thumb]]
 The second photograph was obtained when a delegation was sent to Russia in 1991 by the Rebbe, among other things to redeem the Rebbes' seforim, including R' Levi Yitzchak's books. The delegation members succeeded in obtaining R' Levi Yitzchak's investigation file, which contained two photos of him from two angles taken in 1939, as was customary in those days to photograph every prisoner upon admission to prison. The photos were taken only after the investigators managed to forcefully remove R' Levi Yitzchak's yarmulke, and copies were sent to the Rebbe on the last night of Pesach and later officially transferred to the Rebbe in Elul of that year along with the investigation file in the Rebbe's room by R' Yosef Yitzchak Aronov and R' Shlomo Cunin. The Rebbe remarked that in this photo too "he looks unwell."
