How could God allow the Holocaust? In a Nazi concentration camp, angry prisoners who are waiting to be "selected" for life or death argue that a God who allows so much suffering must be a criminal, while other prisoners argue just as strongly in God's defense. Their mock trial dramatizes thoughtful arguments taken from history, science, philosophy, theology, and the personal experiences of believers, atheists, and believers stripped of their faith. An excellent tool for exploring the moral dimensions of the Holocaust. Grades 8 and up. Closed captioned. Color. 86 minutes. WGBH. ©2008.
