God on Trial

Tonight

Masterpiece Contemporary.

How did this happen?

God does not listen

our agony?

Why does

anything about it?

These are questions asked

in great distress,

questions the

believers have

since the beginning

history,

Questions that remain

have answers.

Tonight, these are

questions asked

in a barrack

Auschwitz concentration,

where a group

of ordinary men

jailed and sentenced

to death without committing any crime

do what they

may think

expressing the agony

of their situation.

Prosecute God ..

They are Jews,

the chosen people,

who have made

a covenant with God,

and in return God

he promised to protect them.

How can they accept

this broken promise?

God has the right

to abandon

and get away with it?

Even atheists

among them believe

humans

moral right

to know the reason for

the evil around the world ..

Your questions multiply.

But silence persists.

God on Trial.

I regret to say that

Well, this way.

I do not understand.

Do not see how this could happen.

How could afford?

You know there

a story

that prisoners

set up a tribunal here

and conducted a trial.

Prosecute

they thought

was mainly responsible

for what happened to them.

rail system of the Reich

this pile of steaming

Polish garbage has

arrived a day early.

Those of you

that have been selected,

know to which sleep

morning in their beds.

See this?

You know what I mean?

It means that I am a criminal.

A convicted criminal.

What are you?

Lawyers?

Doctors?

I spit out there.

Well, here,

is the opposite.

Here I am king.

Chancellor.

I am president.

Fuhrer. God I.

The world just flip them

and you will have fallen into.

It is better

become accustomed.

This is a terrible place.

But if you help us,

it did.

The day of liberation

each day is approaching.

w*r will end

and with the aid of

God will see.

frankly,

should sleep on the

floor tonight

but if either of you

sick,

are those who

give their beds.

Monsieur,

In what part is?

Lyon.

I had a cousin there.

Contini was called.

Do you know him?

Everyone knew him.

He was a doctor.

A very fat,

with lots of money.

He escaped,

Any idea?

Maybe.

I have not heard.

Open your mouth.

Lucky you.

Let me grab this

gold tooth,

I'll give you half

my weekly ration yeah?

I need my tooth

to eat.

Do not worry

for that.

Not to eat

much here

Do not worry, keep your

tooth while you can.

Let me get him out.

It only takes a minute.

Here.

You'll need it.

Soup is the only food ..

You'll need every drop.

How about you?

I was sent to the right.

Take it.

If you do not, one of

Kapos will.

He has expressed

their favor ... Kuhn

We are his people.

He has shown his favor.

What are you praying for?

What will these

praying?

That is not you?

That will be me

instead of you?

Of course not.

Moshe?, Let him alone.

Who then?

If not me, who?

C'mon, name them, choose

Moshe?, Shut up.

At times like this,

You should pray for you.

Someone else reads?

Someone else is helping

God to decide?

I'm praying for him.

It is the rabbi

of Zamkevitz.

Melamed and is a healer.

Healer!

This interrupt

his work, no?

All we are healed.

They say it is

one of 36.

that groan?

The Lamed-vovnik.

The holy secret

We carry on their shoulders

They have put their

souls in God,

and for their sake,

He does not destroy.

Gypsy piece of scum!

Please.

The Lord our God

can hear you, even here.

He listens to me, not

does anything about it.

Moreover bastard

I thought.

He listens to me and not

nothing.

It's an evil bastard.

He should be here

not us.

We should prosecute

the bastard.

So perhaps we listen.

And what will you do if

is guilty?

Arrest him?

Or wait to be delivered?

They can stop this?

They can stop

this blasphemy?

In fact, there

be blasphemy.

Abraham negotiated with

God for Sodom.

Jacob wrestled

with the angel.

The name, Israel,

means "he who has

struggled with God ".

Basta.

Tomorrow, we could be

facing our creator.

And tomorrow, our Creator

could enfrntanos.

It is a very old story.

Many who are

know the story.

It gives some sense.

Why not prosecute?

At least had to listen.

Not needed

judges and others?

three justices.

For a rabbinical court,

need to three.

Part of the tragedy

this place

is that it was packed

of scientists, artists, lawyers.

Baumgarten.

Yes, I was professor of

criminal law in Berlin.

Teach bright

students and admired.

I ate at a large table.

Coffee, brandy and

conversations with men

who are now ..

in their government.

I do not know much

of the Torah.

There are many here

who know the Torah.

But I know how

lead a court.

Sorry.

"I knew you ...

a teacher

in college?

Excuse me, ...

Could you ...

I do not have much time.

I do not want to waste

my last hours on this.

Look,

if we are to continue

through with this,

we can at least

ask the saint,

that God has someone

to defend him? .. Rabbi ..

Rabbi.

They ask whether

talk to them.

It is a fool.

Look, I'm a rabbi.

I have translated

psalms.

I've written several

books on law.

I wrote a piece for our

theater in Wotchz ... Sorry

Professor Schmidt?

Idek?

They said that they had

come to America.

Nobody has escaped?

I might serve

Dayan.

Idek is the best student

I have taught.

I'll stand up ..

he does not.

please.

Please stay

out of it.

Strictly speaking,

the dayan

should be a rabbi.

Are you a rabbi?

The dayan is the

question, right?

I have a lot of questions.

Idek is a brilliant scholar.

His knowledge of

Torah is ...

Auschwitz was not

mentioned in Torah

That's the point.

So I am a father

of this court,

Baumgarten is the boss

of the court.

And our

friend here

is, dayan, the Inquisitor.

For a point of order, for

that this court is lawful,

should have a

copy of the Torah.

... We

as evidence ...

of its existence here.

Well, I'll sniff

at the library

and get one, no?

They want something more

while I'm gone?

Girls?

Cigarettes?

Cushions for their

bony back?

Rabbi Akiva

has been learned

all our holy

memory writes.

Recites

constantly.

In these sad days, we have been

a source of freshwater

He is called

"The Living Torah".

Sorry.

Over here, Rabbi.

So, for starters.

Who is charged?

Yo.

I will.

What are the charges?

Of which he is charged?

You see?

m*rder ...

collaboration, m*rder!

You know what

did to my mother?

My sister?

My brothers?

m*rder, partnership,

and more murders.

I think we should

be more precise.

Suffering is part

God's plan.

A child knows that.

"If we take happiness

the hand of God,

we should not take

pain, too? "

It is not

an indictment.

Are you saying that

no reasons?

The charge would be

breach of contract.

The Jews

have a ...

have a contract

God,

some kind of

special arrangement.

A pact.

Well, the accusation is that

broke the agreement, the pact.

Therefore, God is a

cheating bastard!

That is fine with me.

Please, please.

They can stop you?

In the desert, Moses led

a covenant with God.

He said the people

obey God's law,

and on the other hand, God said

of all peoples,

we would be theirs,

his chosen

a priestly nation

The psalmist sings

"I agreed with the chosen one, I swear

my servant David.

"I did sign your dynasty

forever.

Your throne will last

from age to age.

My own translation.

Therefore the case

before us

is not fulfilled

with this covenant.

Who wants to start?

"No enemy will

able to mock him,

"No evil overtake.

"Crush

his enemies before him,

annihilate opponents.

So?

Has the

His promise? No.

Well, it's hard to see

and refute the charge.

What defense can there be?

Continue?

Bad Things

have happened before.

Read the Torah.

Lean ... read

its history.

We are Jews.

We suffer.

We suffer.

Please.

Identify at

the court.

My name is Kuhn.

I'm his father.

I'm his father, and

However ...

he joins them

this shame.

It helps knowing

it hurts.

That is the kind

a son he is.

Got something to say, father?

Apart from usual?

Look ...

when we were released

of bondage in Egypt,

find land

fiancee, What happened?

We were taken c*ptive

again in Babylon.

When we

released again

and rebuild

temple,

what happened?

The Romans razed.

What happened

on Massada ...

Spain ...

Russia, and now here?

I think

the witness

is saying that his failure

the contract is common.

To clarify the position,

God defend or att*ck

Mr. Kuhn, think this saying ...

.. he can speak for itself

Our ancestors,

our ancestors,

our parents

all suffered.

But it aired.

That is the reason that

we're still here.

This is a test

of our faith.

We pass our test

as they passed his.

Do you think we

be here? ... (Please ...)

They kept the light of Torah

on in times of darkness.

We must do the same.

We must keep the faith.

We maintain pure

our hearts,

and we must pray.

Why?

If God has

betrayed, why?

The point is ...

The point is to be a good Jew.

A good Jew.

The point is to keep the faith.

Why?

We are

tested!

Tests are part

of this covenant?

Did someone mention

evidence to Moses?

In the same psalm,

we are told,

"If their descendants

deserting my law

"and not follow my commands,

"if they violate my decrees and does not

keep my commandments

"I will punish their offenses with the rod,

his guilt with his whip

Mr. Kuhn said,

before blaming God, we

look at ourselves.

Perhaps it is God who

breaches the covenant, but us.

Yes

There is ... he knows.

Es .. is

mipnei khata'einu

because of our sins.

Or your sins.

May be you

who is to blame.

Thank you.

I agree

with the court.

It is a punishment.

The court has not said

such ... (Still)

I agree.

Some Jews have

turned their backs on the Torah

They thought they knew better.

Our children have left

to cities.

He bought a

fancy hat,

a good costume, they became

socialists or Zionists

capitalist

or anarchists.

God only knows what.

Forgetting everything

of the precious scriptures.

So you're saying that

this is my fault;

is that?

God is destroying all the people

Jew because you're disappointed in me

Is that it?

Look what you're doing!

A trial to God?

Do not you think

can hear you?

Do you think

not here?

We must maintain

order here.

You are Jews, no?

If nothing else,

must respect the law.

Well, since I am accused,

I call

a witness.

Forward.

This gentleman.

Name?

Ezra Shapira

of Zamkevitz.

Did I do something wrong?

No, Ezra

Zamkevitz.

He came here with

Rabbi believe,

from Zamkevitz.

Tell me,

Ezra Shapira

turned their backs

the Torah

in Zamkevitz?

No, sir.

In Zamkevitz,

loved the Torah.

On Shabbat, the windows of the

shops were all closed.

The Scriptures wrapped its wings

of quiet about us,

and the world simply

vanished.

Every man had

his prayer book.

On national holidays, festivals,

workdays,

the Torah was ...

The air was

that breathed.

In our poverty,

We dressed and housed us.

He was our palace

and lived

in its splendor.

So what went wrong?

They came.

They k*lled all

the elderly.

And they did the rest

bury them.

I buried my own mother.

I did remove the

ring fingers

and give it to them.

See any reason why

God would be a good Jew

desecrate the grave

your own mother

in order to punish

a poor Jewish

For example, I?

I said that was

a good man.

I try, but I do not know if I am a good man,

I do not know if you are an evil man.

For example, he.

I do not know.

Know me already

Do not worry.

So God reserves the right

to punish the wicked.

This is in the covenant.

The question is, why did you choose

punish this good man here ...

... and not, for

example, h*tler?

Does anyone have

an answer?

God is just;

so we have

done something wrong.

We should examine

our consciences.

In law, the punishment

should be proportional

crime.

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 w*r.

Of course, anyone can build

a wall against death.

Herod d*ed,

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 k*ll all others.

When you have 10 one was chosen

to k*ll 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.

h*tler die.

The w*r 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.

h*tler 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 h*tler is

doing God's work,

then logic says

stand in the way of h*tler

is lodged

God's way.

Take up arms against

h*tler 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.

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 w*r 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 k*ll 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 k*ll.

Then k*ll me.

When they are finished

to k*ll 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 b*rned 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 w*r will end.

h*tler 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 k*lled a

Purim, and the rabbi shouted,

"Do not forget it

this day means!

L'Chaim! "

And singing, while

sh**t 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 w*r 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.

"I've ever given orders

morning ... "

... or sent to his post

dawn?

"Have I ever walked

at the bottom of the abyss?

"What is the way

home of the light? "

"What gives light

frost ... "

Here you are sir,

just as I suspected.

Yes, silence.

How many are you?

Twelve.

This is a place

very well directed.

Yes, there were complications

this morning

caused by the rapid

arrival of transport,

which makes his induction

is not yet complete.

My apologies

for the inconvenience.

Auschwitz is not

You work or you die.

The choice is yours.

Come on. Up! Arise!

Come on.

Arise!

Stand up. Arise!

Remove it.

I have to use

for health reasons

Just remove it.

This is the dentist.

Come see early

in the morning.

Excuse me, Rabbi.

Can I?

I think the trial

I listen to an end.

Please.

No.

It's important.

For me is important.

You started the trial.

should complete it.

Should continue

the procedure

and cite precedents and.

be men.

They think that we are not

men, but if you are.

We removed

that from us.

Yes, true, but I have

reached a natural conclusion,

and may be a case of ...

He gave us the law,

and debate the law, even

in such a terrible topic

is a kind

prayer ... No

No, no, listen

discuss this ...

... comforted us.

I felt I was listening,

who was with us.

If.

Well ...

in brief ...

we know that ...

we can not know

the mind of God

God is too great.

And all we can

do is pray,

have faith.

h*tler die.

The w*r will end ...

No, no, no,

That's not going to be.

Ask us to accept predictions

as evidence .. no, no, no

The argument returns

to its beginning.

If you take it to a vote now,

I vote guilty.

It is certainly true of

we can not understand

the mind of God.

His ways are not our own ...

It touches us understand the mind of God.

... and therefore ...

We are not concerned his mind.

... we must respect.

It is his covenant.

We have

to understand that.

All this writing.

We just have

to determine

if broken

their conditions or not.

Where is ...

Where is the scholar?

Where is the scholar?

Psalm return

the psalm.

Tell us the psalm.

Everything? Is,

is very long.

We were getting somewhere when

spoke on Psalm

I forget.

Psalm which was?

David's throne will last

for all time

and their descendants ...

The ...

The throne of David

shall at all times,

and their descendants ...

It has begun

Beginning in

block 7.

I took a couple

of hours to get here.

I still have time

to smoke a cigarette,

sleep with a

few women,

write a sonnet.

Schmidt

continues to say that

people survive.

That's what it says

in the pact.

God guarantees the survival

the Jewish people.

I say that God is guilty

because survival

the people

It is not safe.

No, not you .. How can

our people cease to exist?

Oh, believe me,

that's the plan.

Destroy us.

That's ridiculous.

When I came here,

He had lived all my

Zamkevitz life.

When I walked through these doors,

that was the largest number of people

I had seen in my life.

I saw more people in an hour

that in all my life.

I thought,

How is it possible that

many people are alive?

But now ...

... How is it possible that

many may die?

Please surely know

that the numbers are not important.

When a child dies

tuberculosis,

this is terrible.

"It's worse if a million die?

When a child dies,

Can you believe that

happens for a purpose,

or do not pass the test.

We can not know

the mind of God.

We are not talking

of his mind.

We are talking

covenant,

a deal that promises

we will survive.

Survive as a people

and not be annihilated.

But there are Jews all over

the world, not only in Europe

My brother

has a friend

in Woudge - he told me ...

Do you think if

they k*ll us here

Left alone to

friend of your brother?

We may be the last.

Maybe our

end is near.

We consider

that we in this room,

we are the holy remnant.

It is therefore important

what we decide.

If you're the last,

We can finish the story.

We can finish it here,

the story that started

with Moses at Sinai

We can finish it,

we can break the covenant.

So I think

that when they come

you, they'll say,

"Oh, no

we are Jews.

Open the doors.

We're going home? "

We're still Jews,

will always be Jews.

Nothing changes for us, because

we are not defendants here.

It is God who is being

defendant, not us.

Aah! Taisez-vous, imbeciles!

He says to shut up.

I understand.

vou et les nazis

sont tous pareils.

Says we're like ...

no, we belong to a. ..

have something in common

with the Nazis.

I am translating.

Maybe wrong.

Scream all you want.

k*ll me if you want, just

I will die in the morning.

How many stars do you

there in the universe,

Excuse me, but before ...

... before he dies,

I was physically in Paris.

A hundred thousand

millions of stars

in our galaxy.

Only in our galaxy.

"God made all

those stars?

Very likely. The prophet

Amos tells us ... Why?

Pardon?

He created one hundred thousand

millions of stars

in our own galaxy.

How many of them have

planets, we know.

And yet, his whole attention

is focused on a small planet

just the outer edge

of a spiral.

And even with

whole planet, no.

Only the Jews.

This man,

I believe one hundred thousand

million stars,

signed a contract

with Jews.

Only Jews.

And even with all

Jews, no, no ..

because Jews

I do not count.

So tell me this.

If so loved the Jews,

Why do

Anything else?

Why not filled the universe

with Jews instead of stars?

What is the point?

We do not know the point.

It seems incredible, too,

that throughout the universe,

should choose us.

It is not surprising.

It's crazy.

It is simply

wrong.

Newborns think

that are the focus

the universe.

They think they do

sucking milk believe

that the world fades

when they close their eyes.

They are wrong.

In the Middle Ages, men viewed

that the sun orbited the earth.

They were wrong.

It is an illusion caused

to the point where you are

at that time.

And it's the same with God.

The same.

So, think.

Please think.

In the past, a nation

could have 50 gods,

one to grow corn;

one for the river to rise .. I do not know

Men make their societies

the image of their gods.

Therefore, companies

many gods

have many leaders,

different centers of power.

welcome you to strangers

and to new ideas.

As the Egyptians.

Then next to them

came the Jews ...

... with his great idea.

A great idea.

There is only one God.

Amazing.

And what happens?

create a society

where,

all powers

are concentrated

in the hands of a

man, a king.

An effective partnership.

An efficient ship.

And he has this idea that

God loves them more than anyone.

Thrive.

They maintain that God

for themselves.

They try to isolate themselves.

But then someone comes

even better idea --

Christians.

They say, yes,

there is only one God,

But not only

He loves the Jews.

Love all.

We must conquer

all ...

The Romans

They loved it.

Developed.

They conquered all.

A god.

A king.

This is how it is.

It is the

power and control,

and what

lost.

But midway

the Romans are gone ... Because

Because someone

had a better idea.

h*tler ...

had the idea,

there is one God, and that's me.

Here,

h*tler is God not?

But still

we're here.

We are still

here tonight.

You deny God.

What has given you?

What?

There are many here

who have denied God.

They became, taken by

wife a goya,

turned their backs

to the Scriptures ...

Sorry. Is

talking about me.

We're here to point

die, and what

you dislike the most

is the fact that I married.

But where did he give?

Where you feel you are

different from me now?

What you got?

Please.

Please point out one point.

These kids educated

Like my son,

like this man

said they saw a truth

that we did not see.

But here they are,

all equal

Facing death.

Look at Ricard.

Outside

was a rich man.

He had many friends.

But here,

is scared.

He can not believe

he will die.

Because I will not die.

Your going to die,

pious idiot.

He has been selected.

I've been selected!

You were sent to the

left like me,

and now you're scared.

The cheats and steals

because he thinks

have more bread than the rest

of us will make you happy.

And think the pray

going to save your life.

hats and still

continue its course

to death!

There is a wasp.

It is called

Ichneumonidae.

The eggs are laid

in the Caterpillars.

The eggs hatch

and then the larvae

wasp

eat the caterpillar

from within.

Eat out

offline.

What kind of God

would design something?

And yet ...

Sorry.

Y. .. my grandfather

planted figs.

There is a wasp ...

I'm sure you know.

And this wasp lays

eggs on the flower.

And when the young wasps

are ready to fly,

collect pollen.

Not accumulate against the

as another wasp

or a bee or wind.

They stop

and collect pollen.

You can see them.

And then carry

pollen

the other trees.

This did not help.

They can not eat.

They do ..

It is a beautiful arrangement.

Surely God ...

Say,

this wasp.

Does this for

all figs

or only for the Jews?

They laugh at me ...

I laugh at you.

Just do

observe things

not like babies,

but as men

Men of reason.

Use your right.

We speak

of reason.

What is the reason?

When caught you at your university in Paris,

where you looked as not Jewish,

spoke as a Jew,

thought as a Jew,

and you put

here with us,

that part played

reason in this?

What is the use

of reason

in a world governed

by madness?

The decision

be voted

of judges.

Sorry, judges

court,

You were wrong

about my children?

Is there anything

hope after all?

Nothing.

Get used to this.

Nothing.

The judges granted.

I'm not Jewish.

I never knew

my father.

I did not know he was Jewish.

He d*ed when I

was still a baby. "

My mother was a ...

a good German.

He returned home and resumed

her maiden name.

They thought that every

had been forgotten.

At school I was

a good boy.

I became

a good father.

My children joined

the h*tler Youth.

It was a year ago

The Gestapo came for me.

That was the first

I heard from my race.

I thought it was a

normal German.

I was German.

A German

hated Jews.

He knew nothing about

their customs.

The learned here.

I have never heard a word

of the Torah before coming here.

But I am not alone.

They must understand that ...

... I grew up learning

that Jews were

dirty, misleading

and disorganized.

And when I got here, I saw that

everything you thought was true

This place was chaotic,

dirty and disorganized;

I thought I was

because of the Jews.

How could this be another

dirty thing?

There is only one latrine

for 5,000 people

That's why.

Think

is a mistake?

Do you think

German engineer

not put

adequate plumbing

by mistake?

No.

This is not how it was.

Nothing here is accidental.

The soil is

part of the system,

like ...

the fence, spotlights y. ..

the other equipment.

It serves a function.

This is where they

take away their dignity,

their humanity.

Our dignity.

Our humanity.

It is part of the process.

So they can ...

Germans get

Common k*ll us,

should show

that we are what ordinary Germans to

are taught to think we are ...

dirty,

and without a God-fearing.

When they arrived here,

took away their property;

people took their names;

cut their hair;

took their children ...

wives, mothers ...

even filling in their teeth.

All

which were removed

made them to be men

Do not let you remove

your God, too.

No matter how ...

how stupid and useless

may seem,

the pact is his.

God is his God.

Even though there is.

Keep it.

Leave something that

not be removed.

Us.

Judges are

three in number

to always

have a decision.

To be unanimous

or has a majority

for a

point of view.

The accusation is

God has broken his covenant

with the Jewish people.

Who brought us out

Egypt?

Finally some

common sense.

God brought us out of Egypt.

Another question.

Why

at first

were in Egypt?

There was a famine, and by

Therefore we take refuge.

Who sent the famine?

Well, hunger,

not know much about ...

God sent famine.

So God

sent to Egypt

and God

out of Egypt.

Exactly.

And then we got

Babylon,

in order to ..

And when we out of Egypt

how did?

With words? Visions?

A miracle?

Moses asked the Pharaoh ...

And when Pharaoh said no?

Pests.

Moses became the first

Egyptian water into blood,

then God sent

the plague of frogs,

then the plague

mosquitoes,

then, a plague of

flies, then k*lled

their livestock,

then the plague

the rash

then hail,

crops that abused

and even the trees

and structures everywhere

except in Goshen,

where the Israelites lived.

And yet Pharaoh

disagreed.

And so the plague

locusts

and then the days of darkness

and, finally, what?

God k*lled the

firstborn of Egypt

and us out of Egypt.

He k*lled the firstborn,

from the firstborn

and heir of Pharaoh

the firstborn from the

slaves in the mills.

m*rder*d them all.

God k*lled Pharaoh?

No, I think

because then ...

He was the Pharaoh who said no,

but God let him live

and k*lled their children

instead.

All children.

And then the

people of Israel

could leave,

taking with them

gold and silver

and jewelry and clothing

dress of the Egyptians.

And then God drowned

soldiers

who pursued them.

It closed the waters to the

soldiers could not follow.

He waited until

were following

and then

closed waters.

And then what?

Then the desert

Finally, the

promised land ...

Now, the Promised Land

was .. is empty?

A new place,

fallow?

No. There was ...

As written,

"When the Lord your God

"I take you to land,

"sacrificed many

nations before you,

"much bigger countries

"and more powerful

you.

"You

"will annihilate

and completely destroyed

"and will do no

covenant with them

and will show no compassion

toward them. "

He showed us his favor.

We are his people.

And gave us a

king in Saul.

Now, when,

the people of Amalek

fought

town of Saul,

that's what

ordered the Lord God?

I ask the student.

"Crush Amalek.

Put it under the curse

of destruction ".

Saul showed mercy?

In save someone?

"No, unless ..."

"I do not salves,

"but kills.

"Murdering men and women,

"babies and newborns,

oxen and sheep,

camels and donkeys. "

Therefore, Saul

prepared to do so,

and on the way, is

met with the Kenites.

However, these were not

people of Amalek.

I had no lawsuits

with them.

He urged them to

flee.

And the Lord our God,

was pleased

Saul's mercy?

For justice to Saul?

Was not.

And when Saul decided

not all cattle slaughter,

but take it for

feed its people,

God was pleased

by his wisdom, his charity?

No.

No, it was

He said: "You have rejected

the word of Adonai.

Therefore, he will have

rejected as king. "

So please search

the Lord our God,

Samuel brought the King Agag

and tore it to

the Lord in Gilgal.

After Saul came David,

who took Batsheba,

the wife of Uriah the Hittite

for himself

making arrangements for

Uriah k*ll ...

against

God's wishes.

God punished

David for this?

In a way

to speak.

Batsheba punished?

In the sense that when ...

Adonai said,

"Since I have sinned

the child will die. "

Questions before,

who punishes

a child?

God does.

Now, the child dies suddenly

mercifully, without pain?

In Chapter 12, we

learned that in reality ...

Seven days.

Seven days, children

go die in pain

while David

wrapped himself

in bags and

ashes and fasted

and tried to show

their pain to God.

He listened to God?

The child d*ed.

He knew that child

God was fair?

thought the Amalekites

that Adonai was fair?

Did you think the

Mothers of Egypt

mothers ...

thought they

that Adonai was fair?

But Adonai is our God, segur ..

What .. God did not create the Egyptians?

Do not set up its rivers

and grew

their crops?

If not him,

Then who?

What ... some other god?

And what created them?

To punish them?

To die

hunger, fear,

to m*ssacre?

The people of Amalek,

the people of Egypt ...

as it was for them

when Adonai

turned against them?

Was.

Today, there

a choice, right?

When David defeated

the Moabites,

What did?

He had to lie down

on the ground in rows,

and chose one that will live

and two who will die.

We've become

in Moab.

We are learning how

went to the Amalekites.

Faced be extinguished

by Adonai.

They d*ed for their purpose.

They fell like us

're falling.

They were scared as well

us.

And what did they learn?

They learned ...

that Adonai,

the Lord our God ...

our God ...

not good.

He is not good.

It was never good.

He only stayed on our side.

God is not good.

Oh, at first

when He repented

that it had created human beings

human and flooded the land,

Why?

they had done to

deserve to be annihilated?

What could

have done

to deserve such

slaughter?

What could they have done

that was so bad?

God is not good.

When asked Abraham

to sacrifice his son,

Abraham should have

said no.

We should have taught him to our God

Justice was in our hearts.

We should have faced.

He is not good,

simply has been strong.

It has simply been

on our side.

When they brought us here,

they brought in train.

a guard

slapped me.

On their belts,

wrote,

"Gott mit uns".

"God is with us."

Now, who says

who is not?

Maybe it is.

Is there another explanation?

What we see here?

His power ...

His majesty, its strength.

All these things, but

against us.

He is still God ...

but not our God.

It has become ...

our enemy.

That is what

happened to the pact.

He has made a new

deal with others.

We are now entering

to the gas chambers.

So ...

him guilty.

Found God

guilty, yes,

for not complying

with the agreement,

for breaking your

covenant with us.

Every day 6,000 people were

taken to the gas chambers here.

I thought I was going to

calling and called my son.

Lucky you are.

Please.

I'm ready.

He is not ready.

Please,

Do this for me.

Send me,

not him.

Shut up.

Just move.

Please look at me.

I can be me.

I am young,

might be useful.

How can they be

to them and not me? Please

Nonsense.

Making Sense

not my job.

Well, then,

who is?

I think you're reading

wrong cards.

Please, just

checked the cards.

Please checked

cards.

You.

What now?

What now?

Now that God is guilty,

What now?

Now ...

now pray.
