The Holocaust and Book of Job

Survivors from the Holocaust have many stories to tell and some of them are told from Moshe Yosef Daum and Fela Nussbaum. Their stories are similar to that of Job because in the book of Job he was tested if he can keep his faith and love for God during hard times and during the Holocaust which was a difficult time for the Jews, they were also being tested if they can keep their faith in God. In both stories there is pain being inflicted because Job was inflicted with sores and Moshe Yosef Daum and Fela Nussbaum were also inflicted with pain from the labor being done. During these stories loved ones died and in both stories some Jews they lost their faith in God. These stories are also different because Satan didn't affect Moshe Yosef Daum and Fela Nussbaum directly, but Satan directly affected Job by applying sores on him. Job cursed out God, but some Jews kept their faith in God. Job was given sores by Satan, but the Jews were being hurt from other people. Also during the tests of the Jews, Jews died, but in Job's test God didn't want him to die and he didn't. God is testing us in many ways and God wants to know if we can keep faith during hard times we face and I think God is also doing this because of his talk with Satan and how Satan said that faithful people don't stay faithful after they are undergoing hard times.
