Compare and constrasting the holocaust and the book of job

Today in class, we read an article about two people, Moshe Yosef Daum and Fela Nussbaum. Daum and Nussbaum are a married couple who survived the holocaust and had a son named Menachem Daum. This article is both similar and different to the Book of Job. This article is similar to the Book of Job because they both had God punishing and torturing innocent people. In this article, the Jews were being tortured and killed in the holocaust. The Jews were innocent people. They hadn't done anything horrible to make God punish them this severely. In fact, the Jews worshipped and were loyal to God. Same thing in the book of Job. Job didn't do anything bad at all to upset or anger God to make him be punished. Job worshipped God always and was loyal to him as well. Job was punished by being tortured as well. Both the was in the holocaust and Job were loyal people to God. One difference that I found between the two pieces of writing is their way of being tortured was differently. In the book of Job, Job was being tortured by God, Himself. God burned his sheep and cattle and slaughtered his family. This was all done directly from God. For the Jews, God wasn't the one that actually killed them directly or tortured them directly. It was the German nazis that inflicted this onto the jews. Even though God let the nazis and Hitler get away with slaughtering the Jews, he didn't actually kill them with his own hands. Another difference that I found between the two inches of writing is that some of the Jews lost faith in God while Job never stopped believing in God. For example, one of the Jewish survivors, Dora Lefkowitz says "I cannot see a God who will allow a little baby to be killed for no reason at all. And I really lost my belief then, right there and then." This shows that Lefkowitz lost faith in God. However, Job never lost faith and even shaved his head and took of his clothes to pray for God.
