S ynagoge and church: From the pursuit for fraternal coexistence -
A loaded by controversy and rejection history
Where was God in Auschwitz? This question is since the Third Reich repeatedly made by Jews. There are several answers. A place like this is in the diary of Eli Wiesel:
in the concentration camp, two men and a boy hanged from a gallows, because something forbidden had done. The prison inmates had to watch this with. Eli Wiesel heard a man behind him asked, "Where is God?" Then the prisoners had to do other things and come back after some time the gallows. The two heavy men were already dead, but the slight boy was still fighting a death struggle. Eli Wiesel again heard the man ask, "Where is God? ? Where is he "Then Wiesel heard a voice within himself:" There - there he is! On the gallows! "
Other people think that you do not have to ask where God was in Auschwitz, but where were the good people that would have prevented this accident.
The Passion of the Jew
In ancient times, Jews were persecuted, for example, the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans. This was also because the Jews refused to accept any other religion. In the Middle Ages, Jews were persecuted or zwangsgetauft. Often Jews were also blamed for disasters and epidemics. After the French Revolution were everywhere in Europe, anti-Semitic movements. Since Jews were now defined as a race they were affected by racism, which resulted mainly in the Third Reich to systematic killing Jews, the Holocaust. After 1945 the Jews were looking for an independent state, which led to the founding of Israel to this day conflicts in the Middle East. As the witnesses are slowly dying and the Holocaust is only mentioned in history books, takes anti-Semitism in Europe again.
Even in the Bible there are slight anti-Semitic statements by some evangelists.
indicated in the following passage the writer points out that the Jews were to blame for the crucifixion of Jesus and attempts by them to define:
Matthew, 17, 15-26
15 On the feast was the governor of the habit release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would. 16 They had but at the time a notorious prisoner, called Jesus Barabbas. 17 And they gathered as were, Pilate said to them: What do you want? Who should I release unto you, Jesus Barabbas or Jesus is said by that, he is the Christ? 18 For he knew that they had delivered him for envy. 19 And as he sat on the bench, his wife sent to him and saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just because I have suffered much because of him in a dream. 20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the people that they ask for Barabbas, but should kill Jesus. 21 Then began the governor said to them: What do you want? Which of the two should I release unto you? They said, Barabbas! 22 Pilate said unto them, What shall I do with Jesus, from the said is that he is the Christ? They all said: Let him be crucified! 23 He said, however: What has he done wrong? They screamed even more: Let him be crucified! 24 When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but the tumult grew, he took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, "I am innocent of his blood, to see her! 25 Then all the people answered and said, His blood be on us and our children! 26 Then he gave them Barabbas go, but Jesus he scourged and delivered him that he be crucified.

In The Diaspora of the Jewish diaspora understood to the rounds of Jewish and living in different countries because they do not have their own state. From 70 AD, the Jews migrated from Africa to Europe, but was expelled by the Crusades and pogroms in Eastern Europe. When they were there, suppressed and persecuted by the Czar many fled to Palestine or America. Still lives there today a majority of all Jews.
