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

war they had just finished Chris I'll tell you in a DP cam called felderfing which was a gathering of many of the broken shells those who had survived the terrible catastrophe and who are groping to put the shattered pieces of their lives back together again they had just finished kriya Satora on Yom Kippur and on that day General Eisenhower the supreme commander of the Allied Forces and later the 34th president of the United States came to visit a few days earlier they had been told that General Eisenhower was coming and when the general would come there would need to be a representative of the camp to greet him someone who could speak to him maybe there would be a few speeches the representative would have to give their message someone who could describe their feelings to vent the storm inside their souls a dispute arose in the camp who should be appointed for this task the same retire on the camp said the camp who could represent us like the closenberger river the one who although he himself lost his wife and 11 children he was the one who went from each broken hashama to the next breathing life into the Embers to reignite the spark of yiddishkite and they said who can better represent us who can better give over our feelings only the kleisenberger rabba the father of all the orphans the father of the assignment and the camp only he could represent us and then the more Progressive ones the enlightened ones even who unfortunately had forsaken Torah and Mitzvahs they said him we've long forgotten about that type we don't want to bring that back again
