Holocaust survivor: the search of faith comparison to Book of Job

The two stories have religious similarities, this is shown by how the people veiwed God during horrible time. In the Holocaust story, the Jews suffered physical pain. For example the prisoners were gased to death, shot to death and even burned to death. The samething happened in The Book of Job except Job's torture was mental. This is beasuse that God killed is family and his animals to see if he would remain faithful. The end results was the same in that neither the Jews or Job lost faith after being tortured beyond imagination. This may also show that the people back than did not relize that God was capable of such terrible deeds. This is because if they did, the two would probably have turned against God. But another possibility is that they did relize the cruelty of God but saw it as worth the blessings.
