Responding to the question, “Where was God at Auschwitz?” The former Chief Rabbi of Great Britain, Immanuel Jakobovits, states the most important issue of the Holocaust was, “Where was man? Where was human morality amidst the Nazi regime?” This course explores the religious challenge posed by the Holocaust by exploring the writings of both Jewish and Christian writers and analyzing the shift in understanding regarding the challenging questions about God, evil, freewill, and suffering. Special emphasis will be placed on the relation of anti-Judaism in Christian cultures to racism and anti-Semitism, the development of Christian thought with reference to Jewish-Christian relations.
