God in the Holocaust

The Holocaust challenges the understanding of God’s presence amid immense suffering, raising questions about divine justice and coexistence with evil. Many interpret it as a test of faith, a consequence of human free will, or an expression of profound tragedy that underscores the importance of remembering and learning from history. Some see God's silence in these moments as a call for human moral responsibility to prevent such atrocities. Ultimately, interpretations vary: some view God as present in the resilience of victims and survivors, while others grapple with the mystery of divine justice in the face of such profound evil.
