Description
A consideration of the biblical story of Job from a post-Holocaust perspective. Parallels are drawn between the adversarial elements of the story and "the landscape of evil and death scarred by Nazi hatred." The story of Job helps us to appreciate the difference between the unrepentant Nazi and the penitent yet steadfast person of faith.
