Jews Reconcile the Holocaust

I believe that most people, both Jews and non-Jews alike, have had difficulty reconciling the evil of the Holocaust. I feel that for most people, but especially for Jews, that it has been most important for them to hold onto their faith, as it has been their faith that has survived, along with them, their history of suffering, oppression and genocide.

…the Jews during the Holocaust. Job shows that believers in God are not exempt from difficulty, pain and suffering. In conclusion, we must love God regardless of whether he blesses us or allows us suffering. Those who endure testing of their faith experience God’s reward in the end. The end reward does not necessarily apply to life here on earth because this life is not the final destiny. (Book of Job, Life Application Bible)
