Elie and Job

Comparing the Bible, a sacred and holy text to a memoir of a holocaust surviver, is not to be done, for there would be no chance of getting to a conclusion that is worthy enough for the memoire or the Bible.
Indeed, in Night, Job is mentioned, for Elie (protagonist...) lost his faith in God. For me the memoire is more vivid, It is actually more vivid, you can feel the pain, sorrow, anger, and hunger. 

This is actually a story that is credible, and we know that it is a true one. Unlike Night, we just have to have faith, to be able to see the Bible just as a memoir and teachings book too. 

Now the difference is that in Exodus, the Jews were saved by moses; a leader...

So was that the problem? Lack of a leader in order to save the jews from the camps? 

I don't know. I will never know. Probably my most accurate answer would be that since Exodus to The Holocaust, many things have changed, including the people, so maybe they were not meant to be saved, even though I will always hate to think that... I guess it was not God who saved them, but Moses, and we just interpret the order of God to Moses in a wrong way. 

Night is not just a book, it is historical context (recent one). It is 6 million of my people, including 60 of my family members who perished too. 

The Bible just doesn't get me as much as the Holocaust, its just more distant...

In my opinion, we were asked to read Job in conjunction to Night, because the Jews in the concentration camps, were put to test by God (if you can say that) as well as Job. He was put to test of his faith. The Jews were put to test to see how much did they believe in God, and to question themselves even if he existed, and why (if he did) were they there. 

The test was that if after this tragedy they would still believe in him. Many did. Many did not.

The thing is to always believe, no matter if good or bad overtake you. God is here not only to be around for good things but for evil ones too. He was not the author of this. We ALL have free will. And everyone of us one day will be judge upon him and by him, and that will be the only day that will matter for us to see if we were on the good side or the dark one. 

Choose well for you will be judge in the highest of all courts...
