God on Trial is a 2008 BBC/WGBH Boston television play written by Frank Cottrell Boyce, starring Antony Sher, Rupert Graves and Jack Shepherd. The play takes place in Auschwitz during World War II. The Jewish prisoners put God on trial in absentia for abandoning the Jewish people. The question is if God has broken his covenant with the Jewish people by allowing the Nazis to commit genocide.[1]
The movie contains extremely powerful dialogue and thought-provoking notions.
It brings up the question of God's very existence, as well as God's nature as either good or bad (and that we simply were lucky to "have him on our side" for a while).
And who are in a better position to make this judgement than the poor Jews in Auschwitz waiting for their death?
