[1 German title page]; 8 pages. 22.5 cm. Excellent condition, cardboard cover with cloth spine and corners, slightly damaged. In 1903 in Altona a question of exhumation of graves for the purpose of road-building arose. Rabbi Lerner published his pamphlet "Shtei Teshuvot" on this matter and sent it to many Rabbis. Rabbi Hanokh Erntroy from Munich printed against it a pamphlet called "Heker Halacha" (Munich 1904). The book "Chayei Olam" in with Rabbi Lerner printed the Rabbi's answers, is an answer to the polemic of the "Heker Halacha".
