Story of Job and Holocaust Survivors







                   The story of Job and the article Holocaust Surviors are both similar and different from each other. In the story of Job God wants Job to fear him. In the article the Holocaust Survivors are already trembled with fear. They want God to help them.
                   In the article it says "If God did so many miracles during biblical times, then why hadn’t she seen any such miracles during the Holocaust?" They were seeking for help during this aweful time. Her father explains that God doesn't come whenever we need him, we have to be faithful towards him in order to receive answers and signs. But Mr. Drum did not understand why his father would risk his life for a God that did not do anything for him.  As the question was asked before about the miracles the rabbi replied to him and said that we're lucky to be even survive from a devestating experience and that the greatest miracle of all is that we survived.  The story of Job is similar because they are both seeking for help and they don't know why they are the ones that are suffering. Innocent people are the ones who suffered the most. These people never do anything wrong. 
                 The differences I found in the story of Job and the Article Holocaust Surviors is that in the story of Job, Job is the only one that suffers. The Holocaust had many people that suffered because it was a large group. Also that the people in the Holocaust were always asking why they are the ones the have to go through the cruel expierence. 
                 Both the story of Job and the article Holocaust Surviors are tragic expierences. They were innocent people that went through a cruel and devestating event. They tried their best not to suffer but at the end there is always happiness.
