God On Trial Page #4

I signals.

Do you think

survive this?

Maybe, maybe not.

And Professor Schmidt

says that when ...

Look, let me tell you

about your God.

I leave here

alive, okay?

One day the war will end.

They might even lose.

In which case,

I will be out of here.

All I have to do is

stay alive until that day.

How?

What is it that

going to kill me?

They.

How do I stop them?

Pleased.

And how do I do that?

Keeping you

locked in order.

What is the worst thing

I can go?

To be left without

Jews who kill.

Then kill me.

When they are finished

to kill them.

When this transport

arrived today

that transport

these Poles.

You know what I did?

Cheers.

That's what I did, and then

custom, said,

"Thank God."

Wait!

listen!

Listen! Look!

Did I hit?

No.

Do you know why?

Because I'm making

work the bastard.

Here I am God.

I am!

And your God,

your God of Abraham,

do not care

a damn!

Otherwise no

I have given them.

I'd like to make

another question.

Got that?

We can not

to some other witness?

I'm not sure

this is helping.

Professor Schmidt

you said

when the disaster ends

world could be better.

Perhaps

the Messiah comes.

Perhaps return to Israel,

but who will survive this?

The foreman, the Sonderkommando

Who else?

The vicious

the crafty,

the scoundrel,

ruthless ...

What kind of Messiah

want these

as his people?

What kind of Israel will

built by such people?

"Build a nation of wisdom

and understanding and knowledge?

Not them, God.

How?

We can not know.

He can do everything.

'He can do everything. "

Well, if you can do

However, why can not

purify your people

without gassing?

He is almighty.

How can it be

powerful and just?

Or is all powerful,

in which case

could have stopped this, but chose

not to because he is not just, o..

would have liked to

end to this, but could not.

The answer is very simple.

They should know of the Yeshiva.

The answer is free will.

Yes, there is evil in the world

because God gave

man free will

and opted to make the

evil is very simple.

Simple?

We are not puppets.

We choose.

We can always choose.

Free will?

Free will, my ass.

I will give you free will.

Where is Liebler?

Liebl, arise.

Wait for the

Judges call you

Ask Liebler for their children,

and then tell me about free will.

I call Liebl.

You can not call anyone.

Judges

call witnesses.

I called Liebl.

Tell the court

your children.

I will not.

If he tells them,

I'll tell him.

The court did not

I asked to speak

We have

order here.

When they arrived

to their village ...

I'll tell you.

If you can tell,

then I who

should tell the tale.

I come from Hoengen.

Near Aachen.

And the Einsatzgruppen came.

When?

It seems like

hundred years ago.

They broke the doors

of the synagogue.

They burned the Torah

and the ark.

And then we

cornered inside.

We thought we were

burn there and then ...

If only it

have done.

Were carried

children.

I have three children.

The greatest

Will have seven now y. ..

They're so beautiful.

That does not ...

never mind.

Placing children

in a truck.

I ran after

them and shouted,

"Please give me my children!

Give me my children. "

And this officer,

I listened.

She stopped and said:

"What are yours?"

I thought I would

to give it back.

I showed

my three children.

The eldest, was crying,

and the other two ...

No, that's not all.

He said,

"Three cute guys.

"I tell you what you can do.

"Choose one.

"Pick one.

Choose one and you can

stay with him. "

And the boys,

listened.

Spread

their hands.

Were

so scared.

They tried to get

to me and said,

"Please, my eljeme.

Eljeme to me. "

This gentleman,

you always said

can choose.

Which should

choose?

The youngest?

At most?

The weakest?

The fittest?

To Choose?

To which I should choose?

I can not say.

The court has heard

what is supposed

is to have free will, but ...

Sorry, I do not want free will.

I love my children.

Of course ...

You talk about free will.

Where was then

my will?

What choice had?

That official,

could choose, not me.

Where was my

Free Will?

The war will end.

Hitler die.

The people and the Torah

survive.

You say that the people

survive ...

... but tomorrow

morning

half the people in this

room will be dead.

They do not share them

in his covenant?

His part is to witness,

keeping the flame alive

Does anyone have something to say

in defense of God?

Rabbi did not ask

it was ... difficult.

I asked him why

you said earlier

about what

beautiful it is.

I would like the final

was beautiful

because my children

are beautiful ...

... and tried to care for them.

Of course it does.

God knows that if.

Have you heard anything?

Are they here?

Two of them

are ... twins,

and I understand that ...

likes to Mengele

twins.

They are treated better

because it has

interest in them.

A Mengele interested

and God no .. Stop.

She is in heaven and can not

see beyond the clouds.

Job, chapter 22.

What?

Your argument that

God is indifferent

is not unprecedented

as it happens.

It is written in Job.

Good.

You say also

God should be here in the

gas chambers, not us?

They can detain you to put

these thoughts in my head.

There is a possibility

that this confusion is the precursor

of some great event,

the fire that burns us

is a refining fire ...

... to create

a golden age.

If your children were taken by it,

were taken as martyrs.

To be a martyr, a man

should choose martyrdom.

We are not being martyred

by our faith, but because of our race,

not by the Torah, but

by our ancestors.

But He's here.

Who?

God.

I know he's here

although he does not understand.

Some days

in spring,

fell ... snow

and the first rays

heat of the sun

since ...

who knows.

Do you think the guard did not feel

the sun on your back?

The sun on your back, yes,

but that's not what I felt.

I felt Him

The guard did not

felt that.

That heat is not

enters his uniform.

I would change with him.

But maybe what you said about God

suffering in the gas chamber.

Maybe that's what

is happening here.

Perhaps he is suffering

us.

Who needs a God

suffering?

We need a God to send the

angel of death to our enemies.

Where ... is?

I do not know much about God.

Maybe God never changes.

Perhaps if.

Perhaps it is not almighty.

Maybe we need

to be complete.

Maybe that's why we did.

Well, it's hard to see how

could be of some use

in our present condition.

Yes, but even so ...

... in the city

of Baranowicz,

We killed a

Purim, and the rabbi shouted,

"Do not forget it

this day means!

L'Chaim! "

And singing, while

shoot him.

But your ...

you keep asking,

"Whence comes

all this evil? "

But where does

all this goodness?

And you thought that while

he took your children?

Even the foreman

I think.

He thinks the war will end

and the Nazis lost.

Even he thinks

good win.

What do I know?

I do not know what he

can do and not do.
