So we know he was the BIL of Rav Hutner, we need to find out which Mosdos he established:
מוסדות תורה הקים לרבים
It appears he was ordained by RIETS in 1931-32

Spoke to a Pruskin einikel last night, R’ Wolf Lifshitz z”l never married, he was very wealthy – mostly from his father’s inheritance – and he left all his money to Chinuch Atzmai.
That explains the line
כמה מוסדות הקים לרבים
is this his father the Rav of Toronto?

And this have to be to the image of the grandfather of rabbi zeev.
