The Faith and Doubt of Holocaust Survivors reveals the victims'
frank and thought-provoking answers to searching questions about
their experiences: Was the Holocaust God's will? Was there any
meaning or purpose in the Holocaust? Was Israel worth the price six
million had to pay? Did the experience in the death camps bring
about an avowal of faith? A denial of God? A reaffirmation of
religious belief? Did the Holocaust change beliefs about the coming
of the Messiah, the Torah, the Jews as the chosen people, and the
nature of God? Drawing on the responses of seven hundred survivors,
Reeve Robert Brenner reveals the changes, rejections,
reaffirmations, doubts, and despairs that have so profoundly
affected the faith, practices, ideas, and attitudes of survivors,
and, by extension, the entire Jewish people. Many survivors carried
their deepest secrets and innermost beliefs silently, from
internment to interment. But Brenner's quest provided the impetus
for many survivors to end their silence about the past and come
forth with their feelings. In poignant vignettes scattered
throughout the book, their answers to these profound questions are
offered, disclosing ardent, overpowering passions and
sensibilities.
