Thankyou I've needed to hear this. Reply
a question I think that the rightious people have never asked the question"Why me?". They have always said:"I am here,my Lord!Dive me the strength to fulfill your will"
God has given us the choice to have choice-to make good or make bad.Holocaust was a human choice to make bad. Millions of people were killed. But that does not mean that God was indifferent to people who suffered. The death is not the end of life - it is the end of a material body and a new beginning for a purified in pain soul. And this is God's mercy.
My question is: Are people who have survived more rightious than those who have suffered prosecution?
