What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Berel Wein’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

this evening will be the first and probably will be two or maybe even three lectures regarding Coen cook a uh one of the leading personalities of the past Century and a person who had a fascinating life I have to admit at the outset that uh cook is a controversial person because of his greatness and I also have to admit at the outset that our family to admit at the outset that our family my family has a particular connection with him my father should living me well is uh a tment of his from thean my grandfather from my mother's side knew him in ban and served with him when he was the Roo was thefo they they worked together and then when I've cook visited America in the 1920s he stayed at my grandfather's house in Chicago also my wife grandfather uh was the RO in a grandfather uh was the RO in a neighboring small village in wania he was the RO Vash and cook was in zo and that was about 15 18 kilomet from each other and that quotes my wife's grandfather in one of his for and Co and Sim he quotes the letters that they had between themselves so uh there's a certain personal connection here also there's a view regarding the man and uh there's a view regarding the man and uh and perhaps certain insights and incidents that I I can't prove it I I I don't have the source material to prove that these insights are correct but these are insights that I have heard from people who knew him intimately and who knew him in many different stages of his life and his career and therefore I feel them to be valid and I'll take the liberty of expressing them and of treating them as valid as I'm certain that it
