God On Trial Page #3

What crime

may justify a

punished like this?

And children, some children

on the field.

What punishment is

deserves a child?

If I may?

Not long

the punishment is proportional.

The flood engulfed

Worldwide

with the exception of Noah.

God asked Abraham to

sacrifice his own son.

Sir, my mother was

a good woman.

The mistake is to make

it's personal.

God does not work

against the person.

His alliance is with

the Jewish people,

Ezra not

of Zamkevitz.

This is not personal.

Can I ask you, Ezra,

see any object in a

God is not personal?

God as the object?

Does it depend on me

use to find God?

Do you know what is a god

that is not personal?

No.

Is the weather

That's all.

Maybe we should eliminate the word now

punishment procedures

Can I ask a question?

Ezra, let me ask you,

Your mother was a good Jew?

How can you ask

So even here?

Let me talk about something.

Let's talk

purification.

Twice in history,

and perhaps here today again

God has done events occur

of such destruction,

that after this, nothing

was the same again.

Nothing was the same

because, over time,

we come to understand

all improved.

Imagine that God

is a surgeon,

and has to remove a leg or an arm

with gangrene to heal the body.

It is a violent act.

It's painful.

But it is love.

What would

if we were living through

a moment like this?

No punishment,

purification.

Let me ask you ... of its time.

Time is what we have.

These purifications

are in your covenant?

You say, occasionally,

no more betting,

e inundare the place?

Sometimes, just for

a change, you're ...

surrounded and

you'll be whipped,

you bring dogs,

and I cornered

in a field ...

since you ask ...

The first purification

was the flood.

The second was

the destruction of the temple

by Nebuchadnezzar.

We were taken

into exile in Babylon.

We were one nation

without a country.

With no land,

went to the world,

and take our

knowledge of the Torah

and only God Almighty,

into the open.

If we had stayed as

we would have achieved so much?

We would be a tribe

the desert, nothing more.

It was painful, but

also was wonderful

What if we were going

other catastrophic event?

What if those who survive this

will be the holy remnant,

and live in an age of

wisdom, understanding and knowledge?

What if something good

would come out of this?

What great good?

How do we know?

Already some say

that the Messiah himself.

Perhaps a return to Israel.

So what?

So it might be

something beautiful.

So you see, maybe

There is a reason

Why a good woman

like your mother was taken,

and not some evil.

Because she is a sacrifice.

A holocaust.

And when a man sacrifices

something must be better.

The most beautiful thing.

Can I call Idek?

Can I interrogate him?

Can I call first to Idek?

The point is related.

Can you tell the court

what happened to our

Masada ancestors?

Masada was. .. one

fortress in the mountains

built by

Herod the Great.

It was a kind of

self-shelter

in case of war.

Of course, anyone can build

a wall against death.

Herod died,

and the Romans arrived,

destroyed the temple.

There was a great

uprising.

A revolt.

And the rebels ran

into the mountains,

this Masada.

The Romans besieged.

They wanted the rebels

starve.

So they built a huge wall

around the base of the mountain.

There, 15,000

Roman troops.

Less than a thousand

Jewish fighters.

That spring,

rebels

decided that

was better to die

to be enslaved.

Ten men were chosen

for homework

to kill all others.

When you have 10 one was chosen

to kill the other nine.

The latter had to

take his own life.

Two women hid

of this slaughter

and lived to

tell this story.

These fighters do

kind of men were they?

The bravest

and better.

The ... Israel flower.

They were martyrs.

And yet, were

crushed by the Romans.

Well, in a sense, yes,

But what did the Romans?

Jews live like

Romans, and abandon the Torah.

And where are the

Romans now?

They are dust.

And the Torah?

He still lives,

still ... blooms.

Still illuminates the world.

Thank you.

So we should not

despair.

Our suffering is a privilege

if it is part of God's plan.

We are fortunate

purifying the people living

through our grief.

Do not let

would take away their faith.

If this is strong,

grow.

A small fire is extinguished by

the wind, but a major fire

only grows stronger.

Hitler die.

The war will end.

The people and the Torah

live.

Precisely.

There is, right?

If.

The Torah will live.

Therefore, we

trust God.

Can I question the witness?

Not this.

The previous one.

Ezra Zamkevitz.

Sorry, I'm

a witness.

know, do not testify

nothing of God.

manufactures and sells gloves.

I used to make and

sell gloves.

Do you feel better at

that the judge has said,

your mother is

a sacrifice?

Yes, sir.

Although the judge

you have said

God demands sacrifice,

a sacrifice

of the best Jews.

You want me to feel

better or worse?

We just want the truth.

Well, I know the truth.

I do not know why

such things happen. "

I used to make

and sell gloves.

Can I sit now,

please?

I do not know how to respond

these questions.

Thank you.

So the suffering

is God's work,

is that true?

In other words,

Mengele work for God.

Hitler is working for God.

Is that true?

It's unpleasant,

but it is possible.

When Nebuchadnezzar invaded

Israel, and plundered the temple

and led the people

into exile in Babylon,

God called him

"My servant Nebuchadnezzar.

he was the scalpel and God

Surgeon.

We hate the scalpel,

but we love to surgeon.

If Hitler is

doing God's work,

then logic says

stand in the way of Hitler

is lodged

God's way.

Take up arms against

Hitler is wrong

Now, do you think someone

here in that?

Is there any way

that it can from

somehow be true?

Is not that ... madness?

Who you are heading?

We must maintain

order here.

We should try to

maintain order.

I would call

our foreman.

Call me anything you want.

You can call it

he is not Jewish.

I would tell the court

what does all day.

Do you know

what I do.

I take care of you.

They are like my babies.

I am like a mother

for you.

Why?

"Dinos

why you took a

job like this?

I got the chance.

They asked me because I speak German,

and because I have a brain.

And if any of you were sufficiently

smart, do the same.

I think you could

have said no.

I want to live ... That is

I do this. Want to Live!

Not like you scum

already dead,

delivered as soon as they got here.

Not ashamed

what you do?

I have no answer for.

Or your court

or to your God.

I do not care

know God.

Because what I do,

let me tell you

what I do is nothing,

nothing compared to what

the Sonderkommando ago!

Sent to other Jews

to the gas chambers.

The push within

and close the doors.

I removed the spoons

and sell them to other Jews.

They have cornered the entire

market spoons

closing the doors

those of the same species.
