The Holocaust vs. The Story of Job

The story of Moshe Yosef Daum and Dela Nussbaum is very similar and different from the story of Job in the Old Testament. Moshe Yosef and Dela Nussbaum were both holocaust survivors and after the holocaust Dela Nussbaum lost some of her faith towards God because she was confused how such a powerful thing such as God could allow so many of his faithful followers, the Jews, to suffer such awful things. This also happened in the story of Job. In the story of Job Satin convinced God to test Job's loyalty to him and make him suffer by torturing him and see if he is still faithful afterward. This happened in the holocaust because like Job, God allowed to the Jewish people to suffer greatly and some people remained loyal to God after everything occurred and some people lost all their faith. Moshe Yosef Daum remained loyal to God even after all the suffering and so did a Hasetic Rabi who lost his wife and 11 children. The Rabbi said, “The fact that there are Holocaust survivors who, after all they endured, can still keep faith, is itself, the greatest miracle of all.” This is different from the story of Job because after God allowed Job to go through all this suffering he did lose faith in Gob by cursing the day he was born which was really cursing God because God has a plan for everyone and everyone was born for a reason and by cursing the day Job was born he was really cursing Job's plan.
