“The Holocaust does not tell us about God but about man. It tells us not about Divine justice but about human injustice. The question raised by Auschwitz is not “Where was God?” but “Where was man? Where was humanity?”
Course Description :
One of the major tragedies in Jewish History, the Holocaust, has been studied from several different perspectives, mostly focusing on the historical and political aspects.
