Born in Trakai, Poland to its Chief Rabbi, R. Aryeh Tzvi Partzovitz. His father was a grandson of the posek of Vilna, R. Shlomo HaKohen and son-in-law to R. Nochum Greenhouse. R. Nochum Partzovitz was a student of R. Elchanan Wasserman, R.Baruch Ber Leibowitz and the Mirrer Yeshiva, through which he escaped the Nazis when the yeshiva escaped Nazi Europe for Shanghai. After the war he married R. Chaim Shmuelevitz's daughter Ettel and emigrated to Israel. He succeeded his father-in-law as Rosh Yeshiva of Mir in Jerusalem in 1979, although he was only able to retain the position for a short period of time due to illness. Chidushei Reb Nochum and Shiurei Reb Nochum were published posthumously by his students.
