The holocaust and Job

The stories of Moshe Yosef Daum and Fela Nussbaum Is similar to the story of job because as Abernethey says “The fact that there are Holocaust survivors who, after all they endured, can still keep faith, is itself, the greatest miracle of all.”During the holocaust, many Jews and their families were killed in this form of genocide. This can relate to the story of job because after all of Job's suffering (loosing his family, house, animals, and belongings), he still remained faithful to God. Both stories features a terrible way of suffering for Jews. Weather that means losing loved ones or losing belongings. At this point most people would question why god would just observe all of this terrible behavior and not do anything to stop it. However, the survivors of the holocaust and Job's opinion on god and their belief in God remained constant.

The stores of Moshe Yosef Daum and Fela Nussbaum is different because during the many Jews lost faith in God after and during holocatust whereas Job was always confident in god. Mr. Memachembaum says I try to continue my parents’ ways, but to be honest, I do it more out of respect than out of conviction. I really don’t understand my father’s faith. I don’t understand why he would risk his life in the camps for a God who had seemingly abandoned him. He chooses not to forgive god for not doing anything during he holocaust. Job consistantly had assurance I'm god throughout his unfortunate events. Some Jews were able to justify gods actions because saying they were meant to be misunderstood by humans, others chose not to forgive god.
