Where was God during the Holocaust?
This question reverberates through Elie Wiesel's memoir. With all of the darkness and the silence, Elie considered himself and his people to be abandoned. This question has been asked by individuals who have suffered much less than the Holocaust. It's a question that every believer must answer? God interceded for Isaac before Abraham sacrificed him. Jesus calmed the storm. So why did he not intervene during the Holocaust? Or did he? Corrie Ten-Boom was a Dutch Christian who suffered through concentration camps for hiding Jews, yet she only grew in her faith. Francios Mauriac, who wrote the forward to Night, claims that the stumbling block of Wiesel's faith was the cornerstone of his.
