Surely only he could answer that question. Unfortunately, so many people--not just in the Holocaust--experience a lack of faith, anger, resentment and bitterness toward God when undergoing an extreme ordeal. We look to God to protect us from evil, to keep us from all harm. And when we suffer, we naturally question "Why?" We ask, "How? How could this to happen to me?" Some of us, in anger or disappointment, turn our backs on the faith we once held. In the face of gruesome death, torture, starvation, inhumane treatment, one can't blame a person for doubting. It takes faith to believe in a God that would allow such suffering. It takes faith to believe that God has a reason for everything He allows. Suffering can damage faith or it can strengthen it. The choice is ours.
