What’s said in this shiur

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

It's a great close to be at one of the most eminent really in all of Ramak Za. We have a personal connection. Our grandfather was Benias by Raim Za in Warsaw. Ramak Za was a gassed but he always considered himself he humbled himself before the Gabbus even though he was from the greatest goim in all of Europe and in the whole world. Throughout his amazing life, he was offered many illustrious posts. He was offered to be the chief rabbi of USim. He was offered to be the rough of Lublin. He was offered to be the mamala makr of mayor Shapiro. But he turned all of these down. He said he could learn more working on the side than in an official capacity. However, he became the official secretary of the mases. He had an official position in communal affairs working with the government and he was right-hand man in the matra. Unfortunately published wrote works on the entire USI on the entire Rambam and all of his went up in flames in the Warso ghetto during the liquidation of the Warso ghetto. Now when the wars ghetto was being liquidated the Nazis would systematically go from house to house burning down one house after another and in the home where Za was the air was was becoming very thick and he didn't know whether he should stay because he could he couldn't breathe there or to run across the street. So he sent uh a girl from the family and the signals were crossed. The signals were not interpreted right and she she had motioned that they should stop and not run across the street. And in his he was running and the Nazis shot down on uh on Pesak during the Warso ghetto
