Rabbi Avigdor Miller zt”l was born Victor Miller in Baltimore, Maryland. He was a kohen, his father’s name was Yisroel. Although he attended public school, only Yiddish was spoken at home. After school, he attended an afternoon Talmud Torah. When he finished his regular classes at the Talmud Torah, the school arranged for him to learn privately with Avrohom Eliyahu Axelrod, a Lubavitcher Hasid. The Talmud Torah was unable to pay Axelrod, but he continued to teach Miller anyway. Miller would never forget that Axelrod taught him without being paid, and spoke about him with appreciation.
